Who could even argue?”

Quotations are used by me as a means of inspiration and to invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader.
Pragmatically speaking, quotations can also be used as language games (in the Wittgensteinian sense of the term) to manipulate social order and the structure of society
“Like everything metaphysical the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language.”

You should decide whether something said, written or quoted makes sense by its content,
Not by the person who writes or says it,
Regardless of the letters after his or her name, title or position in society, age, nationality...
:D
The “real facts” are those that can be supported to be true or false by data or evidence.
In the other hand, an opinion is a personal expression of a person’s feelings or thoughts that may or may not be based in data or reality.
Many of people’s opinions are based on faith, emotions, personal history, indoctrination and values—all of which can be completely unsupported by meaningful scientific evidence.
Rather than carbon taxes, cap and trade, and that shit, they should be talking about battery tech and next-gen nuclear.
I'm all for "going green" because it enables us to tell bad-behaving petro-states to GFY.
