21. When I say "mentally ill"

Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 10:52 PM by gully

I'm referring to the Berkely study that found conservatives are suffering from "mental illness."

http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/07/22_politics.shtml

I am not trying to lump all mentally ill with those who suffer from collective -

* Fear and aggression
* Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
* Uncertainty avoidance
* Need for cognitive closure
* Terror management

which contribute to the conservative mentality.
