Adventures of John Pienaar

In my first two years at Stripcreator, my comics often featured real people from the British political and media world. One of these was John Pienaar, a BBC reporter. This story began with my vain attempt to make the 40,000th comic on the site (I failed even to get 40001, beaten to it by this). The plot evolved from there, and even spawned a sequel in the bloated and unfinished End Times saga. John Pienaar has been absent since mid-2003, and I haven't received one complaint.

	Plato argued against the use of rhetoric in philosophy, because it could convince people of falsehoods by psychological manipulation.


	How ironic, then, that he himself practiced philosophical rhetoric! Aristotle's claim that rhetoric is necessary to explain truth is far more honest.


	I disagree. Plato's dialogues are logical, measured attempts to expound Socratic arguments.


	"Sophist" and "Phaedrus" are full of emotive, overly complicated turns of phrase, intended to convince the reader of Plato's own irrational prejudices.
