“When people try to dismiss those who ask the big public - TopicsExpress



          

“When people try to dismiss those who ask the big public questions as being emotional, it is a strategy to avoid debate. Why should we be scared of being angry? Why should we be scared of our feelings, if they’re based on facts. The whole framework of reason versus passion is ridiculous, because often passion is based on reason. Passion is not always unreasonable. Anger is based on reason. They’re not two different things. I feel it’s very important to defend that.” — Arundhati Roy, The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile: Conversations with Arundhati Roy
