'Right'

Well, it means to me 'sticking with the facts' and, yes, if it is being
stuck in a duality to think facts are _not_ overrated, then I am. I have
never seen a fact I didn't like.

Again, and I cannot repeat Washburn's bon-mot enough- 'Every fact is
backed up by the entire universe.'

So yes, in this fragile skein called life, it is damned important to be
right, especially for a person generally unkept by a sect or a racial
community, and leaning more towards the real reasons over the
make-believe, and one who generally keeps what is felt on the inside,
inside....

What is man, after all, that we are mindful of him...?
