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.'
