“Making a case for or against an individual, group, or society is fundamentally different from seeking the facts and analyzing the context and constraints which explain those facts. Making an indictment may be easier and more emotionally satisfying than following the ancient admonition, “With all your getting, get understanding.” Neither indictments nor apologies are the same as understanding. Nor is a preconceived neutrality. The truth does not necessarily “lie somewhere in between.” Like anything else, only after you find it can you know where it is.”
Thomas Sowell
