Why I Love Rhetoric

Reading the recent posts of my friends, I find myself in a romantic mood. Though I find little pleasure in politics, I find myself on the cusp of ecstasy as I read, hear, and generally experience the impassioned debates between ideological foes. If I may be poetic for a brief moment, arguments between people are the breeding grounds of creative language. The passions of the opponents may appear hateful, but they become amorous for their munitions of words as the carefully crafted bullet points storm the gates of opposing minds and seduce the ethereal forms of counter points. When one reads the previous titles: "Why I Love Political Partisanship" and "Why I Hate Political Partisanship," one sees the fruit of such an erotic interview, allusion. In these debates, Rhetoric, the core of argumentative language, finds harbor and sows its seed amongst the ready population of ideological concepts, siring the sling-stones and arrows of argument.
