QUOTE (about soft money financing):

"I am open to persuation and evidence. I don't need to discover logical reasons for things through my "feelings.""

I hate to say it, but you sound like (pick one) Joseph Stalin/Joe McCarthy/Rush Limbaugh/Bill O'Reilly/Michael Moore: anyone who disagrees with you doesn't do so from an honest difference of opinion, they do it because they're wrong! And rather than use, as you suggest, logic to explain why they might be wrong about something, you declare them to be using their feelings, as if, ipso facto, this demonstrates the strength of your case. And why the quotation marks around "feelings?" Do you have something against human emotion to the point wherein you feel it necessary to give yourself some ironic detatchment? Or do you just really, really hate people?
