Everything conversational is "feelings," Craig. I remember when my entire class almost walked out because of what it saw as an impossible assignment. It worked out great when I said, "Whoa, whoa, all I am asking you to do is what you do every day: talk of what you do and how you feel about what you do."

As to the second part of your question, there is no such thing as perfection, absolute or otherwise. Putting the technical aside, I think in conversations of what we do and how we feel, we know of the respect and tolerance required of civil society to provide reassurances of our humanity.

Rudeness, insults, foul language, ignorance don't do it for me.
