As promised, here's another post to make up for my short Thursday drop. Here's an article that we analyzed in my critical thinking class:
Interestingly enough, Rick Anderson (the author), was a campaign director for the Reform party.
Imagine that this was delivered as a speech - it'd be much harder to analyze, and a lot more convincing. It's scary how he acknowledges that there probably weren't any weapons of mass destruction, yet dismisses it later on as if it's not a big deal (when it was the justification for the attack on Iraq to begin with!).
This is politics, people. Some amazing stuff, isn't it? (No Sarcasm).
Peace,

i always thought you thought politics is retarded. i, for one, think that politics is interesting because it's all about the power of words. amazing stuff when you really analyze them. if you know how to communicate effectively you can get almost whatever you want, in my opinion. You should check out Bush's speech after 9/11: he isn't as stupid as people thought. he actually used some really influential tactics in his speech that ultimately lead to what he wanted.
