OHH and along with what ali said...i completely agree. i often dislike emotion as a 'way of knowing"...but i can have problems with using it myself as well. hating a certain political figure just because they're affiliated with a certain party or because of popular opinion is not an incredibly respectable opinion. i can't STAND people that say "i hate ----" when they can't give ANY reason at all why they hate him/her. i don't care if i disagree with you, but give your reasons and support your argument. think. then you'll have my respect, and probably everybody else's. so many people don't think anymore for themselves and i think it's kind of concerning.
