Bertrand Russell said, "Most people would sooner die than think."
While I would really like to live in a world where people make rational decisions, few people do so. As an example, I leased a new truck earlier this year. The manufacturer emailed a survey which I answered. There were a few questions about quality, features, etc, but what struck me were the straight out questions about emotion. How important is your car to your image? To me, not at all, but they wouldn't ask if there weren't a whole lot of people who worry more about how they look than crash safety ratings.
In political arguments actual facts have no importance to either side (fact check what candidates are saying if you don't believe me). Hence I'm with JAD: what you're doing is interesting, but I really hope you hit delete if the facts don't support the cause. As Alpha Sierra says, we are guaranteed certain rights which we do not have to justify.
