I was reading about power politics and the policies of the Nazis, and realized that THESE are some diabolical bastards. They exploited "rationality" to destroy and subjugate, and also manipulated people using irrational emotional fervor. I'll have to think about this some more. But I do think that "love" needs to be separated from coercion, and truth needs people who are actually interested in pursuing it. Not everyone goes along with that, and trying to persuade them using argument is very tough, if not quixotic. Jefferson was pretty good about such matters, and knew that sometimes words fail to persuade one's would-be enslavers not to proceed with their plans.
