Oh Cobalt, how disappointing. Surely you can do better than the tired old chestnut about how if I am not a liberal, I must have problems in my life. Not being a liberal = bad mental health. Being Euro-centric = really bad mental health. Did you think this idea up all by yourself?? No, actually you didn’t. Actually, the idea has been around since at least 1950 when a book by Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levison and Sanford was published. The Authoritarian Personality. [Quote about Authoritarian Personality from Christpher Lasch's “The True and Only Heaven,” p. 453]: “By identifying the ‘liberal personality’ as the antithesis of the authoritarian personality, they equated mental health with an approved political position. They defended liberalism … on the grounds that other positions had their roots in personal pathology.” Try again, but this time, a little panache, a little verve, a tiny little spark of creativity, would be ever so much appreciated.
