Nobody can live on pure reason.Are you saying liberals are bait/prey? Do hungry killer whales eat seals too? Are you saying that love doesn't come with conditions and expectations or dreams attached to it? Hint..My wife's love isn't the same as my mothers love. I see obvious signs of irrational thought.
When it comes to the needful collective decisions, rationality becomes necessary. Non-rational choices lead to economic failure and ethical calamities. If I am to undergo surgery, then I do not want a flake as a surgeon.
I prefer that politicians not make contradictory promises that they can never fulfill even if they try, and that implode if they try. Logical contradictions almost always result in falsity... as Donald Trump shows.
We liberals have quit playing games. We are like the seals that lead a hungry great white shark intent on devouring us toward an even hungrier killer whale.
