" (Agree or not, what's going on in Iraq is part of the war against terrorism). " I love this style - disagree if you like, but you'd be wrong!! Conspiracy theorists and Worthington definitely share the belief that if only everyone would just look at things, they'd agree b/c the 'answer' is right there in front of your face.

So you take belief from the left, belief from the right, sum them up, divide by two and you discover the truth?

Heh, I don't think that is what he is saying... Just that it is kind of egotistical to write that, 'if you don't believe me you are wrong'.
Though your comment might be closer to the truth in many cases than people care to admit...  After all, life is all hinged on balance right?

What I am trying to say is that there is one truth. There may be several `understandings` of the truth, however the truth itself does not depend on a human, because facts are result of "natural laws" such as for example "time is scarce" that are a priori true and cannot be proved wrong logically. Thus facts are independent of humans and work even if no one is prepared to acknowledge them. Im not sure where relativists see the problem? [/b][/quote]
Well that much is true, like that whole stupid, 'if a tree falls in a forest' debate. Of course it still makes a sound, all the rules for sound are still there even if there is no audience.
I was just comtemplating that often the one truth probably IS closer to the middle. Not always, not even a large amount of the time, just often enough to be something of consideration. If you take knowledge (actual facts not opinion) from both sides it stands to reason you'll have a better understanding and be closer to the truth.
Not anything scientific or even philosophical, just a musing I had. I know it's flawed in it's logic and experiment, but it probably works enough in the real world to be a little bit of value.
Was just a musing I had, hence the winky face at the end.
