UFO, Cults and US

Of all the chapters thus far, I found this one to be the most interesting. I found that I could relate to all of the topics and ideas mentioned. The section that really hit home with me was the idea that your emotions can play a bigger role in decision making than logic. I am an emotional person, and I can say that I will follow my emotions 70 percent of the time over logic. When I reason with myself, I tend to over analyze and over think. When I let my emotions decide for me, I usually do what will make me the happiest. I never realized that I did such a thing until reading this chapter. I also thought the section about political parties was really cool. I am not a registered Democrat, but I tend to find myself following their views. After reading the part about people falling for stereotypes about which programs each party is for or against was eye opening for me because I tend to do that as well. I find myself believing Democrats when they say Republicans are against a certain program or fund and denying when Republicans say Democrats are against something "good" or for something "bad." Because I am not a typically political person, I need to discover for myself which party stands for what. I cannot always fall for political propaganda. Another thing that I found to be rather interesting was the idea that people who feel as if their positions are weak, will fight tooth and nail to support them. This theory fascinates me because I find it to be quite true. I know a countless number of people that will tell you UFOs are real simply because people try to prove them wrong. This chapter was really insightful because of the numerous topics covered and ideas mentioned. I actually learned a lot from this one.
