For thirty years, we have been conditioned to shift into an emotional state when encountering that which must be considered intellectually. From a brain standpoint, the two are mutually exclusive. (We've had an "irrational" switch installed.) So Biscuit Boy, Beck, Fox, even CNN, are paid megabucks to install emotional triggers that fire every time certain keywords come up.
