A quick word in regards to the realist

I hate the phrase "Is the glass half empty or is the glass half full".

The optimist views the glass as half full.

The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

What about the realist?  What about me? 

The reality is the glass is either half full or half empty.

You pour water into it until it is half full or you fill it up and pour half out and it is then half empty. 

There is no guessing to it if you know the facts!  If you don't know the facts just drink the darn thing and forget about it.  The reality is water is good for.

Who would ask a question without the facts and expect an answer? Oh, yeah, the tabloids.   To quote Roseanne Roseannadanna"

"Nevermind"

Indeed, Karen. Actually realists are able to see through the lies of the government and the media and recognize the fact that the glass is actually empty.
