Reply #12: Will, there was a very interesting article on Yahoo today. It seems there's been research

on the different brains of democrats and republicans. I will quote a couple of paragraphs, but am still too technologically challenged to put in the thingamagiggy that directs you to the site.

"Using data from MRI scans, researchers at the University College London found that self-described liberals have a larger anterior cingulate cortex--a gray matter of the brain associated with understanding complexity. Meanwhile, self-described conservatives are more likely to have a larger amygdala, an almond-shaped area that is associated with fear and anxiety.

"Previously, some psychological traits were known to be predictive of an individual's political orientation," lead researcher Ryota Kanai writes of the study in the latest issue of Current Biology. "Our study now links personality traits with specific brain structure."

Interesting, no? I guess God wanted his "chosen people" to be as children.
