[Ads-l] The UD: _alternative facts_

[Wilson Gray]

alternative facts

The worst of the four classifications of lies: lies, damned lies,
statistics, alternative facts. Alternative facts are distinguished from the
other damnable lies by the addition of gaslighting[!] the listener.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
