Also, what makes you think your emotions aren't even more open to manipulation? Really, LITERALLY, all I have to do is float an American Flag graphic behind something to make a significant portion of the country agree with it. Appeals to fear, terror, nationalism, etc... These are all emotional manipulations.
To say "I feel something, and therefore to hell with facts" seems to me an inherently blind way to live.

Go re-read the sex education portion of the Sara Palin Quits thread. In that thread, you were staunchly for Palin's sex education policy, and also described how you thought sex ed should be conducted, and yet you were for Palin's policy with is the polar opposite of what you thought it should be, except that you support real sex ed, and also support Palin's policy, except where it might turn out to be in conflict with your views, which you don't know about, and even when pointed out to you, you see no conflict.
How is a reasonable, fact-based person supposed to interact with such bobbing and weaving?
