Robert A. Heinlein Quote

Do you seriously expect to start a rebellion with picayune stuff like that?
It's not picayune stuff, because it acts directly on their emotions, below the logical level. You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic. It doesn't have to be a prejudice about an important matter either.
