Debate

I was watching a panel on CNN discuss life after death and reincarnation. There was one skeptic and a few others who believed in this phenomena. I noticed emotional volleying with defensiveness and blame/accusation. Debates are no place for emotion. Debates are pure logic or so it seems to me. Debates are a waste of time in my book. Heart to heart exchange is a different story. This latter ground is what we need to be tilling and not the same old political grounds. Who will create space for heart to heart dialogue?
