Truth Demands Proof
I saw a post on Facebook where a man shared a letter he had sent to his elected officials calling for the impeachment of the sitting president. He claimed that the offenses were “so obvious” and “so well documented” that he did not even need to include them. That single assumption captured everything wrong with modern political thinking. When someone says “the reasons are obvious,” what they often mean is that they cannot defend them. Emotional conviction replaces evidence. The appearance of certainty replaces truth itself.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is Surprisingly Dark for a Disney Film
I have watched this film about four times now, and I still can't get over how dark this film is. How this movie was approved for children to watch is crazy, but I guess the old Disney didn't really care with whether or not they might traumatize children lol.
