WOW! You really are off the mark here! I sincerely hope that the rest of your life is not so mired in false history.

I'm now surprised that you aren't using for your "evidence" that you had to pay thirty times as much for your first house as your grandparents did, and that during the "good old days" you could buy a Model T for $550. Or that a Coke cost a nickel.

Inflation is a fact of life. Get over it.

false history

History is history. I see that you see only part of it, you think I am seeing something false. I will not say what you see of it is false -- what you see is true, but only part of a bigger whole. You are missing by delusion -- by claiming my reports of that are false -- what in my opinion, are currently significant parts of history.

My observations of history are not opinion. History is what happened, an honest report of that is as true and non-opinionated as when it happened.

Where my opinion does enter is not as to what happened -- but as to whether it is currently signifcant in understanding the present situation.

I can allow that you see different things, and also allow that you weigh those things according to your own wisdom and experience. Yet you cannot even allow that the things of history I report even happened. That is a poisonous bias. We all have biases -- they do not have to be poisonous -- they are, when known and applied correctly and logically absolutely necessary to the process of making observations!
