Fun with Socrates, Syllogisms, El Pollo Loco, and Air conditioning

In class syllogism exercise.

Thanks to all the Freshman students who really got into this today: I thought I'd put the finished ones here
so you could review what we did. Particularly important is
the problem of #3: this is a great example of the "causal fallacy" that bedevils scientists of all stripes: just because one change accompanies another, how do we know that it causes it? Valuable reading and thinking about for anyone who thinks about science, math, English, philosophy, or just not being manipulated by the man...
