Default OT very interesting

Last night a local channel had a very brief interview with a guy at UC Davis
doing studies of the brain.

One thing he had done was interview subjects to determine whether they were
"conservative' or 'liberal' or in between. Then each subject had brain
activity monitored. The 'strongly consevative' showed 3 TIMES as much
activity in the 'fear related' sections of the brain !!!


I'm trying to find more info so I document this, but found it so very
interesting I had to post. I've long felt we are likely hard wired, at
least to a degree, to have certain political leanings, and I've read several
reports of studies that seem to be finding that, at least partly, true.
