Consider a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience recently with the brainy titlte Neurocognitive correlates of liberalism and conservatism. The study, done in a combined effort by New York University and University of California, Los Angeles, looked a the possible cognitive difference between liberals and conservatives and was summed up thusly:

Political scientists and psychologists have noted that, on average, conservatives show more structured and persistent cognitive styles, whereas liberals are more responsible to informational complexity, ambiguity and novelty. (...)

Liberals, it found, tended to be less organized and somewhat indecisive (flip-floppers). Conservatives tended to be more rigid thinkers, close- minded, avoided new experiences and were somewhat more aggressive (war-monger).

"The shamelessness of a narcissist -- barreling forward at everyone's expense, demanding more attention than anyone else at the cocktail party, barking opinions without any discernible evidence to back them up -- is offensive but also fascinating."

I thought this apropos.

Hippie reminded me of this study published last autumn: it's amusing, enlightening, and infurating - it confirms something I have suspected for a long time, which is that Right-Wing individuals are more rigid, aggressively inclined, and better organised than their mellow, laidback, Left-Wing counterparts.

It did bring me a chuckle.  Which I assume was your purpose.

To seriously consider any of this article as anything other than a humorous mumble by a self confessed "liberal", you gotta be a brain dead "Lib", anyway. [:D]

Actually, Leatherist, I must say this: your comment was pissy.

A propos, maybe, but I bloody well hope it's not in correlation with me, me, me [:D] .
