    However, I don't take the political speeches of politicians as having
    much purpose besides influencing opinion. Especially when they are
    claiming that isn't their motive. Study what Cato called Rhetoric at
    his school for political speakers. I generally figure that they were
    just more open about such things in those days, because information
    travelled more slowly.
