I don't disagree with you at all. But you have to
realize that we're talking about two different things.
There are the perspectives/reflections/reactions to
the facts and then there are the facts themselves. Do
what you want with teh p/r/r...that's fine. I won't
deny anyone that right. But the problem as I see it
is that too often the p/r/r are deemed so much more
important than the facts of history themselves - or
even a true scientific search for the facts - they
they are substituted for the facts.
or something like that...
