kyburgRemember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative.
At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years. The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals.
OH RLY.
Nah, the folks in Berkeley don't have a axe to grind or anything.
It's an interesting study on 95 subjects, hardly double-blind and where was this done again? *snaps fingers* OH YEAH.
Confident, resilient folks comes in every stripe known to man - the rigid, uncomfortable, insecure ones? Extremists of every caliber.
Conservative or Liberal. Bah. What a crock. Like you're completely one or the other - and your behavior dictates the decision, not the content.
Dumb as dead cats.
But that's just my opinion - and I encourage you to question it.
