Many forms of good communication can be interpreted as manipulating people. The distinctions between how to do it ethically geneally revolve around how honest you are.

I mean, all ministers ultimately want to convince you of something, and that entails speaking to the experience and prejudices of your audience. Whether or not you call that manipulation generally boils down to whether or not you like what you are being convinced of.

Some things are worth being convinced of. Some methods of convincing are open and honest.

Manipulation in itself isn't good or evil.

o_O It was a nice 80 (26 .6) degrees here.Overall a very nice day.

That's standard summer temperature for us, if we are lucky it gets to low 30's (around 90 in Fahrenheit).

In the winter we tend to have lows of -10 (14) and a standard of around 0.

A bit too chilly for me! Though this as summer weather would be nice. How's the humidity?
