36. A Closed Mind Is Unconducive To Policymaking

Thu Apr 18, 2013, 03:11 PM

Apr 2013

And isn't a closed mind just a different example of an emotional decision making process. His own words then describe what he attributes to others when they actually reflect his own emotion. Frankly, I find it indefensible to support background checks at places like Wal-Mart but refuse to allow a vote to have the identical background check on internet sales. That is not emotional, that is common sense and the same cannot be said concerning Begich's worked up, emotional outburst here.
