we are responsible for our feelings in as much as our feelings are the
basis by which we act. how would you like to have a president that hated
(in his opinion) half-witted half-assed moderatators who had a lot of
opinions. how would you like it if this president had a lot of support and
people out there who were more than happy to act on his prejudice and hunt
you down with dogs and have their way with you. the same can be said about
adults with children, parents have to take responsibility for how their
feelings will become manifest in their children; or do you believe that it
is okay for people to raise their children to hate certain aspects of
society. these examples are only tentitive but they show how there is
consequence to our feelings and there is an ecology therein, wherein we
must take responsibility for how we feel. apparently the law feels that
way too as this is the basis by which they prosecuted manson. manson did
not do the deeds himself but the acts were manifestations of how he felt.
they say that he did but manson did not actually send his followers out to
do his biding. prejudice cannot be objective; in court it can be the basis
of a mistrial, if it can be proved.
i feel the same as you that it is not the realm of the law to dictate how
we should feel but there is an area there where we must assume a certain
responsibilty for our own feelings and particular responsibility for how
our feelings manifest in the world along with the consequences thereof.
