Question Everything
The purpose of this website is to encourage individuals to step back, to pause, and to think. Try to gain a more thorough understanding of what is going on around us: in politics, in business, in society, and in the world in general. Basing one’s beliefs on emotions and feelings instead of observation and facts is, well, ignorant.

You have 3 choices:

There is a difference between opinion and fact. The human brain very often fails to make proper distinction between the two. Each one of us should make certain that we are correctly and completely informed and that our opinions are supported by facts. Fortunately, the ultimate arbiter of truth remains the facts themselves— and not anyone’s opinion.
