It's amusing to read so many posts extolling your non-partisan virtues. The truth is we all have biases, sense a belonging to certain groups or entities, and adhere to different levels of partisanship.

The difference I most often see in posters is some recognize their own biases, while others attempt to place themselves on a pedestal of untainted wisdom, while using "your partisan" as a spring-brook from which to dismiss points of view they disagree with.

Being unemotional doesn't necessarily lead one to the fountain of objective knowledge, and there is a big difference between emotion and passion. Passion has changed the world, ignited revolutions, and brought us representative democracy. Passion, grounded in logic, and connected to what the heart is quietly saying, is often where wisdom and action find harmony.

Being bereft of passion is no virtue and doesn't necessarily lead one to the objective center of reality.
