Rhetoric is useful because the true and the just are naturally superior to their opposites, so that, if decisions are improperly made, they must owe their defeat to their own advocates; which is reprehensible. Further, in dealing with certain persons, even if we possessed the most accurate scientific knowledge, we should not find it easy to persuade them by the employment of such knowledge. For scientific discourse is concerned with instruction, but in the case of such persons instruction is impossible.
Aristotle

No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.

I'm happy to say that my knowledge about Basildon is rather limited, particularly I was there only about three times. All my visits there were with DM and at a time within the early days when I was very interested in photography and always carried a shoulder bag with camera equipment around with me. My most insistent memory of Basildon is to sit in a disgusting pub and to get told I better shouldn't cross my legs and should hide the shoulder bag because otherwise I could be beaten up because someone might think I was a poof.
Alan Wilder
