No, if I had I'd be sounding too much like you. After all the research does show that situations that discourage effortful thought promotes political conservatism.
According to a recently published journal article in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Eidelman and others from the University of Arkansas found that conservatives are more likely not to put a lot of effort into thought. As they note: "Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases." http://psp.sagepub.com/content/38/6/808.abstract On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Sam <sammyc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Did you fall and hit your head? > > . > > On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 3:43 PM, Larry C.
