Clio sells herself on the street

The writing of history is subjective. This is no secret. You see what you want. I see what I want. We both record things as we want to see them. There is the history of the victors and, sometimes, by a freak accident of Clio, also the history of the vanquished. Yet, rewriting history to suit one's personal claims and interests is not fair. If history can be rewritten, if science can be fabricated, what equanimous judge is left for us? Are we left only with the brutal fact that might makes right?
