In the study, led by Ryota Kanai of the University College London, people who identified themselves as liberals generally had a larger anterior cingulate cortex — a comma-shaped region near the front of the brain that is involved in decision-making. By contrast, those who identified as conservatives had larger amygdalas — almond-shaped structures that are linked with emotional learning and the processing of fear

Much as I hate having to repeat myself.... for the stupid kids.... 90 students does not count as a valid study. Knock off the 'zombie facts' that you keep crawling along with. This 'study' has already been proved to be based on bullshit.

Idiot.

Thank you Wiseacre.

Limited Government: To what limit? I have always contended that Government ought to be equal to the task which I know requires alot more discussion, but I ask as an example, should the government not set standards for milk and monitor that the standards be met?

As far as lower taxes...we are at the lowest rates since WW2 and spending has remained flat at approximatly 35% since 1984. In the State I once lived the govenor cut State income tax by 30%. Then the State cut local spending causing everyones local burdon to increase 4x the savings on the State income tax.

As far as bail-outs...Deregulation and lack of policing permitted financial markets to essentially become massive gambiling tables, fraud...and they lost. I was furious and I saw it comming for years along with the mass exodus of promoted and incentivised outsourcing of our manufacturing base and jobs.

What would have happened one morning in America if every bank locked its doors, shut down its ATMs, did not process payroll checks? I believe we were looking at a full financial seizure which would have resulted in war on the streets.

The bail out sucked but the alternative at the time I believe would have been worse.

In the end I am not governed by beliefs that simple notions applied to how we manage our family budget or our individual lives applies to governing our country. If cutting taxes and cutting spending and having a small, nimble government was the silver bullet, then every Country on the planet would live in utopia..but that is not the case.

I am always open to hearing and exchanging ideas on how being American can be mutually beneficial to all of us. Blame, anger, attack, and vitrial stand in the way of that conversation and there in lies my dissapointment with the Tea Party. We've had Dems And Pubs, Liberals and Conservatives doing that for years and look at where we are at....so do we really need another?

So you know absolutely jack shit about the TEA Parties - as you have just proved with your reply to Wiseacre... and yet you have already decided they are 'KKK'. Make an idiot of yourself much?

Mad Hatters. I like that.

Yea, you are an unthinking hack. That's already been evidenced.

Tea Party supporters strike me as very angry, nasty people. The pitch fork, KKk, and torch type.

I understand that the Tea Party was in large part born in protest of the 5 trillion dollar deficit that was growing during eight years of the Bush Administration. I too was angry about that and very dissastified with what was going on in Washington.

But what the Hell have you "Great Patriots" accomplished aside from making it clear that your pissed and you hate.

You know..when your done pointing your fingers at Mexicans and Liberals and Blacks and Socialists and Communists and anti Americans and Planned Parenthood and Muslims and Barack Obama and Gays And Lesbians and Welfare Moms and Food Stamp kids and this Form of Government established by founders from whom you've taken your name, but hate so much...try doing something that helps your fellow Americans...even the few you do like.

Tell us how you really feel about your misconceptions.

Let'see, the OWS crowd shoots dope, craps in the street, rapes fellow OWS radicals and stops traffic in critical areas and you think the Tea Party people who carry a copy of the Constitution in their back pocket are "angry". I rest my case about the ignorant pop-culture union educated left wing.

California, are you having bad cramps to?

Tea going cold. TP came about because people were HOT and angry over Governments dealings and so on. That was understandable.

The problem as I see it is that they helped elect a number of angry people who were also, kind of idiots. (Not all and not especially supporters)

To me...its to bad.
