Different universes

Oct 22, 2004 09:59


Thanks to a trip to the south last month, I was already aware of this:

A new study from the University of Maryland supports the thesis that Kerry and Bush supporters apparently live in different universes, complete with different facts and probably different laws of physics. Bush supporters believe it is a fact that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction; Kerry supporters don't. Bush supporters believe Saddam was supporting al Qaeda; Kerry supporters don't. Bush supporters believe most people in other countries approve of the war in Iraq; Kerry supporters don't. Read it for yourself.

The next question, of course, is, who's right? The items listed in this paragraph are facts that have been verified. As far as I know, Kerry supporters are right and Bush supporters are wrong about every one of them. Not surprisingly, I guess, supporting Bush requires some ability to deny reality.
