Facts are stubborn things.

There's nothing more stubborn than a fact. That is why you hate them so much. They offend you.

We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute.

To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.

Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
