Arguement (May 17)

It seems that the world is becoming a place where people just do not care to make sense. Too many arguements made in political debates and in commentaries in the paper and in many other arenas lack basic composition elements to make a good arguement. Let us take a second to watch all the great Greek philosophers roll in their graves. The art of the arguement is something that we have taken and perverted to be something we use in order to gain power and prestige. We will often skew facts in order to say something that sounds so good that other people will follow without even taking the time to think. You can really say anything with charisma (not that you really know what that even means) and people will follow much like the lemmings that we have become. The sad reality is that the real thinkers are getting pushed out of society because they lack the charisma. To be able to make an arguement that is able to be tested and approved as both logical and where the conclusion is a necessity from the propositions is truly a lost art. I am not saying that one cannot make good arguements on both sides of an issue only that we have failed to really make a good arguement in a long time.
