Reader comments about this quote:
Abusing the opponent is the modern form of argument. It is as dishonest--and worthless--now as it was in Rome.

Sounds like it applies very aptly to modern day Israel.
 -- David, Reading
 
It's hard to believe a philosopher would be supporting the use of an obvious logical fallacy. Is this quote ironic?
 -- Anonymous
 
Logic and reality are not synonymous. Cicero described the credo by which tyrants usurp and hold power as they strangle the populace.He expressed the truth. The proof is in the putridness of our present political administration. Call it the ill-logic, the sick-logic of the psychopathic sociopaths subverting our constitutional democacy.
