Some stories are more credible.


Some (Scott Adams) argue that facts are used post facto to justify the persuasion that is the real determinant.
If energy policy is the actual issue,and Congress sets policy,then if we're going to continue as a rule-of-law nation, persuasion is all we have.
'People must be controlled by manipulating their [instincts and emotions] rather than by changing their reasonings.This is a fact of which politicians have always made use when they have persuaded their constituents by appealing to their sentiments,rather than employing [reasoning],which would never be listened to or at least never prove effective for moving the crowds.'
