1960 united states presidential election
the 1960 presidential election was one of the closest in history. republican richard m. nixon seemed to have an edge with eight years' experience as eisenhower's vice president, while democrat john f. kennedy, a roman catholic, struggled against anti-catholic prejudice. kennedy, however, attracted voters with his sense of mission. he also gained votes in the first-ever tv debates by appearing fresh and energetic, while nixon looked pale, unshaven, and tired. kennedy's words on january 20, 1961-inauguration day, the formal celebration marking the first day of a presidency–set the tone for his administration: "now the trumpet summons us again ... against the common enemies of man–tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself."

range anxiety
range anxiety is a term used to describe the fear that electric vehicles will run out of power before reaching their destination. this fear can be a barrier to the adoption of electric cars, as many people are concerned that they will not be able to find a charging station when they need one.
one humorous way to explain range anxiety is to compare it to the "quarter panic" that some people experience when using a payphone. just like with a payphone, electric car owners may worry that they will not have enough "juice" to make it to their destination. however, just like with a payphone, there are ways to mitigate this anxiety, such as by planning ahead and checking for charging stations along the route. and just like with a payphone, range anxiety may soon be a thing of the past as technology and infrastructure continue to improve. -
freedom of speech
freedom of speech, or the ability to freely express one's thoughts and opinions, was a concept that was explored by several ancient greek philosophers.
one of the earliest philosophers to discuss freedom of speech was socrates, who believed in the importance of questioning and challenging established beliefs and ideas. socrates believed that the pursuit of truth and knowledge was more important than the fear of offending others, and he famously stood by his beliefs even in the face of persecution and death.
other ancient greek philosophers, such as plato and aristotle, also recognized the value of free expression and the importance of allowing individuals to engage in open and honest dialogue. plato, in particular, argued that the ability to freely express one's thoughts was essential for the functioning of a just society.
however, it's worth noting that the concept of freedom of speech as we understand it today was not fully developed in ancient greece. in fact, many ancient greek philosophers believed that certain forms of speech, such as blasphemy or treason, should be restricted. nonetheless, the ideas of socrates and other ancient greek philosophers laid the foundation for modern ideas about the importance of freedom of speech and the value of open and honest dialogue. -
ad hominem
ad hominem is a type of argument where someone attacks or criticizes the person making an argument, rather than the argument itself. this is often done in an attempt to undermine the person's credibility or character, rather than focusing on the merits of their argument.
here are some examples of ad hominem:
"you can't trust what he says about politics because he's a convicted criminal."
"she can't be right about the environment because she works for a big oil company."
"he's just saying that because he's trying to be popular."
in each of these examples, the person making the argument is attacked or criticized, rather than the argument itself being discussed. this can be a logical fallacy because it doesn't address the substance of the argument and can be used to distract from a discussion of the issue at hand. -
