Structural brain differences in liberals and conservatives

Just when you think you've heard it all...

I think consevatives tend to rely more on fear, often due to religious upbringing, fear of damnation, fear of losing power status, etc. Past history shows religion mixed with politics can hold great control over people. That seems to be the GOP agenda lately.

Well, shucks, color me surprised. Imagine that - people might be different.

Shocking, isn't it?

Undoubtedly the biggest breakthrough since researchers discovered men and women are different.
