    Actually, however, as said it's a true statement. People don't know
    what they want, they feel it. It usually isn't accurately transcribable
    into words. What tends to be missed is that the one offering the
    <sneer>"better choice, though the fools don't know it"</sneer> is
    usually even more ignorant of what his wants are. He's merely acting on
    them. Usually, from my reading of things, what he really wants is power
    and control, but frequently I am quite willing to believe that he isn't
    even aware that this is what is motivating him.

    When saying "People don't know what they want.", never forget that you
    are one of the people. And that it's also true for you.
