Or like my sis, the social worker, would say -- when confronted with the facts you mention -- "I don't believe those numbers. They're not true."
So, does she have some numbers of her own? Nope. But she just knows mine are wrong.
Liberalism is a religion...and I have attacked an article of her faith.
Seriously, when someone denies my facts that refute their ideology,
I want to shake them and demand that they provide proof that the numbers are wrong. They can’t, but they have the hand up and eyes down pose - “I WON’T believe it”.
OK, dammit, what ARE the right numbers, if you ABSOLUTELY KNOW that mine aren’t right?
