Information is power, is it not? I found I learned a lot from this lecture, it was an eye-opener. It did not make me feel powerless, just more aware.

I respectfully say it is not. Information, i.e., knowledge, is not power. It is what you do with what you know that counts. Information without action and doing is powerless.

I agree completely. It would think that goes without saying.

I simply posted the link to the lecture thinking others on this forum might be interested in watching it. I wasn't expecting to get into debates or having to clarify at every turn.

My apologies. Sometimes I take things too literally. So when you asked "... is it not?'" I responded. I'll work on that.

While certainly not my reference of choice...from Wikipedia:

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply (ex: "Why me?") Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the question must be.

Having grown up surrounded by them, I suspect that as a lawyer, you already know this. *L*
