Chapter5 Questions about Logic: IF THIS IS TRUE, WHAT ELSE IS TRUE?
My dear reader, I am so proud to announce that I have decided to run for president! You should vote for me! Here's why: Reason One:Peace is good. Reason Two:Pollution is bad. Reason Three:I love dogs. Conclusion:You should vote for me! What do you think? Convincing? Would you vote for me? Do you think this speech will get me elected? No? But why not? Who could disagree with my reasons? Oh, yeah-a good argument isn't just about good rea- sons. It's about good reasons that are logically connected to the conclusion. Looks like we are going to need to do some work on logic.
