Hrm...did I actually SAY that? "More important"? Feelings ARE and CAN BE important..after all, it IS important to be a human being.

Well, if you do not like to constantly be underminded and marginalized, then those words ring very true. Being "pigeonholed" by individuals and/or society sucks to high heaven.

I don't doubt for a minute that Jag *feels* business is immoral--after all, he *said* so, and there's absolutely no resaon why he should be called to account for, explain or justify a feeling. That would be mean-spirited and disresepectful.
Explaining WHY one felt the way they did is one thing. To say they should be "called to account for" or "justify" a feeling comes across like, "Well, you need to justify WHY you feel this way to ME in order for your feeling(s) to be valid". Oh please...NO ONE is "all that" to even pretend to have that kind of power over someone.

Don't know what I was thinking of. Or rather, what I was *feeling*. We'll all just emote away here--maybe even write some poetry
AH, but I thought you didn't come here to read poetry. :p
