How to Win Arguments and Influence People

Sis

Sis said:
You sound like a politician. The fact is, we're in trouble if we don't swear off cars, spray cans, fancy stationery, and those @#$%-ing Christmas lights -- and I mean now!

So you say:
If we could only harness your outrage, Sis, we could power the lights of dozens of Christmas trees. But we'll never get anywhere if we cram change down our neighbors' throats. So we set good examples, we walk our talk, we put pressure on about governments and corporations. Before you know it, we'll be getting all the electricity we need to run those Christmas lights from solar panels. Then you'll have to find something else to get angry about.

Time for dessert?
