Today we step over to the “Quixotic” side of things…

Arguing is simply the art of attaching personal emotion to non-emotional subjects in such a way to attain victory, but rarely a solution.

Yep, I totally made that up! But it does bring me to this wonderfully detailed examination of fallacies and arguments by Dr. Michael C. Labossiere and reprinted on the Nizkor Holocaust Educational website. [READ IT HERE] By the time you finish reading every form of false argument from “Ad Hominem” to “Two wrongs make a right” you’ll never be able to take part in an argument again without a painful buzzing in your ears. Of course if you attempt to start pointing out the many fallacies tossed around in the next argument you have, you are likely to get your ears boxed. Which brings us back to what it’s all about in the first place…

On a side note, the image above is from a famous painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. We know it as “The Scream” however the title may have been better translated as “The Shriek of Nature”.  Munch described his inspiration by saying, “I was walking along a path with two friends-the sun was setting-suddenly the sky turned blood red…I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence-there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city. My friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety…and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.”
