The most educated states are all blue

[NoNukes]

The people to whom you refer may live in those states, but where did they grow up? Perhaps they only moved to those states for employment.

Holy Crap.. After 20 pages of bickering about butchered statistics taken completely out of context a NEWBIE busts in and ACTUALLY contributes logic and reason...

Well done and welcome.. Anyone not cynical about statistics hasn't studied the topic..

But no proof.

But it's way that polls like this SHOULD be analyzed.. It's clear and rationale cynicism about leaping to conclusions. Any jerk can take a poll.. ((Hey Look -- THere's an USMB button for a poll) It takes brains to figure out what it means.

PS - It's anecdotal -- but 20 years as an exec in Silicon Valley says the poster was on to something..

Thank you for proving my point.

Starsplash: Where are all the educated people

Proof positive those who can, do.
Those who can't do, teach.
Those who can't teach, become journalists.
Those who can't become journalists, blog.
Those who can't blog, post here.
Those who can't post here are irrelevant to mankind's interest.

LONDON, March 2, 2010 (UPI) -- More intelligent children may be more likely to grow up to be liberals, a researcher at the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests.
Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist, says "evolutionarily novel" preferences and values are those that humans are not biologically designed to have and our ancestors probably did not possess.
In contrast, those that our ancestors had for millions of years are "evolutionarily familiar."
Kanazawa argues that humans are evolutionarily designed to be conservative, caring mostly about their family and friends, and being liberal -- caring about an indefinite number of genetically unrelated strangers one has never meet or interacted with -- is evolutionarily novel.
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health support Kanazawa's hypothesis. Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence, Kanazawa says.

Higher IQ linked to liberalism, atheism - UPI.com

Not really NEWS, it is tough to be a very smart hardcore right winger. The best and the brightest gave way to Beck, Coulter, and Co. Malkin is bright, hope for the future of intelligent conservatives, Will cannot live forever.

Ramblings of psychology majors -- the very folks who never use a tool for a diagnosis. The very people who STILL drive nails into peoples heads to gain a cure.. The very people with unlimited access to mind-altering drugs that they prescribe by "listening and observing".

Yeah -- I'm gonna believe this.. Go pay the $35 for a reprint and share it so we can all have a laugh about 6 IQ points and how much teenagers understand about liberal and conservative..
