I think the key to a positive political movement comes from realizing the root of one's own reaction of anger and finding a solution to make it right. Of course the tricky part is that anger is bred into the make-up of people, and the definition of "anger" and when it is irrational differs from person to person. The best political movement can come from someone who will control anger and turn it into positive energy that makes people believe and ask meaningful questions in a non-threatening way- whatever that may be.Mindy O'Neallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782098369058836613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17982460.post-1147388915405948232006-05-11T15:08:00.000-08:002006-05-11T15:08:00.000-08:00I think we need to dig out a thesaurus and remind ...I think we need to dig out a thesaurus and remind people (yes, including C.) that "anger" is a <I>symptom</I>, a common reaction to many highly objectionable stimuli: threats, injustices, hypocricies, disappointments, etc. <BR/><BR/>I disagree that "anger" is in itself a useful emotion for driving a political movement, but I think it's going to be a component of one which identifies real critical issues and makes them prominent.<BR/><BR/>Not all strong emotions are irrational ones, either in cause or effect.Ahistoricalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004964192885891003noreply@blogger.com
