an addition to the OFF-topic:
Quite often our discontent first shows itself -to us'-as an emotion. Something IS wrong. Now our rational self is searching what that can be, and figments a possible cause and a possible solution. In the case of the girl the first impulse was clearly emotional: disgust, then ping-ponged into the rational: Justification and defense, which are rational faculties. Employing 'logic'. Then the celebrity-cook stepped in. Then the administration forbade. Then the public went against. Then the administration ( as a holder of societal 'logic') retreated. This is a peculiar sort of Hegelian dialectics between brain-hemispheres, which Hegel has not been aware of, because this interplay was not discovered yet, because Hegel believed that this interplay is 'rational' on both sides, which it is not. This asymmetry is caused by evolution, i.e. 'emotion' is a long-term genetically coded issue, whereas the rational side, as a supervisor, is a quite recent development of evolution, and aims at the short term for corrections, at least in its current embodiment, which we have to overcome, it seems. Sorry for the -ahem- philosophical interlude. Guenther
