<< we are responsible for our feelings in as much as our feelings are the

(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.

It boils down to personal responsibility. What is good for one is not good
for another. Legislating the thoughts is what is bad. I don't think it is
"good" to hate or to be prejudiced or to raise your kids that way BUT I think
you have a right to do so, that I can't interfere with. You have a
responsibility to live responsibly with your neighbors and within the laws of
community, cause no harm to others or their property, take nothing that is
not yours, etc. It is your responsibility to police your thoughts. When you
act on them in a way that is in violation of those laws of community you
should face the stiffest penalty possible. Of course you may want to just
ignore this because I might be half-witted and/or half-assed, and might be
merely full of opinions, and it might be a good idea to hunt me down and kill
me for them, or at least hurt me a bit. 'Course you could just quietly hate
me instead.
