There are those in society whose reasoning and decision-making processes lie squarely in the emotional strength of an argument. If they, or someone else they are "protecting," feel strongly about something, then that-in their minds-gives weight and strength to their cause, regardless of whether the decision is actually a good or correct decision.<br /><br />Then, you have another segment of society that sees issues through concrete, factual, absolute glasses. There are no exceptions in their minds. The law is the law, the facts are the facts and anything else is malarkey.<br /><br />The former leads to ridiculousness and the latter leads to rigidity and, at times, a machiavellian attitude.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399706958844399216noreply@blogger.com
