Love that corrupt politicians and lazy leaders have trained me to read "We can't make a considered decision while emotions are running high" as a deliberate stalling tactic no matter the context
I also think this advice rapidly becomes less useful the further away it gets from being an individual consideration. I make awful decisions when I'm mad, but when a /community/ is mad about a raw deal being sold them, decision makers usually have the facts right away
Conflating the collective responsibility you owe your public with the individual responsibilities that public has to one another is an expedient way to confound their anger. I'm reading Debt: The First 5,000 Years right now, which opens with an excellent discussion of this topic
Anyway I'm ashamed to say that this thread is about Magic: the Gathering, not anything generally important
