One does not dispassionately lay out the facts in these matters, and say "make up your mind", without conveying the sense that the result is of less concern than the process. This sort of value- neutral education on matters like drugs and sexual promiscuity does more harm than good. On the other hand, persuasiveness always proceeds from premises that will be accepted, and if you try to persuade of something in a manner that seems ludicrous to your interlocutor, he tends to turn off to anything more that you have to say. Trying to push attitudes that are too far different from those learned at home, instead of developing from a comfortable starting point, does more harm than good. Education is not always useful.......
