The liberal mantra has become ‘do anything and say anything’.
“folks that speak in absolutes.. (always, never, all, none)
are almost invariably wrong in every instance.”
I don’t, and I don’t think most of us actually mean an absolute when we use such words. I think the exception to the rule is always (<— an absolute) implied.
The implied word that maybe should be included with those absolutes is “ALMOST”. You used the “almost” word yourself to help clarify, of course not wanting to use an “absolute”, in your pontification, but then just couldn’t help yourself after all and ended up using the word “every”. (<— an absolute).
Almost Every = not absolute.
Deconstruct the sentence and see.
