Perfect summation.

I think I'll nominate you for Pulizer Prize for the best quote in the entire site.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
- Voltaire,

Well I am about to take the Pulitzer away with some simple logic.

Some articles are based on FACT others are made up out of whole cloth still others use a shred of fact to link to a political agenda. Not all articles are "BIASED"

The source for this article should definitely raise red flags for anyone who cares about factual reporting.

I spent 5 days in Big Bend National Park this year on my way to Tucson and later Alaska. Big Bend for those of you who do not know is on the US Mexico Border. You can walk right across the river from the cottonwood campground and be in Mexico. There is not even a fence (a good thing in a National park) Much of the best scenery you see from the Park actually is in Mexico. I saw absolutely no evidence of any incursion by anyone coming across this completely free and open border. In fact in my discussions with the Rangers about this the only problem they say they have is with UDB's as they call them Undocumented Bovines. Yes Cows from the Mexico side often wander across and into the cottonwood campground which is right on the river.

Being able to separate fact from propaganda is essential.
