My argument calls on historical fact, documentary evidence, testimony supported by hundreds of witnesses.

No, you've bought a bill of goods, lock stock and barrel. Your 'arguments' are just you parroting a party line you've been mesmerized into believing, which is based on a story with all the positives consciously filtered out. Now you flaunt it like it was yours. What a fool!

For every 'witness' on EPO there are a thousand who's witness is one of beauty,  of hope, and of wisdom. You're in the minority mate... or should I say your sources are.
