The analogy between US/Canada and Israel/Palestine tells me he is stupid. Along with Austrian language, US Marine corpse men, 57 states, etc, etc...

<It has been documented that Conservatives reach decisions rationally and liberals reach decisions based on emotions> You stated the opposite earlier... a simple web search yields this: "Persons with a larger or more active amygdala tend to have stronger emotional reactions to objects and events, and process information initially through that pathway. They would be more likely swayed towards a belief if it touched them on an emotional level." "Recent converging studies are showing that liberals tend to have a larger and/or more active anterior cingulate cortex" Studies have shown that the brain is different for conservative and liberals. The amygdala is larger in conservatives. The anterior cingulate cortex is larger in liberals." critical-thinker.net blogs.discovermagazine.com en.wikipedia.org Of course I couldn't check your websites since you haven't listed them... OTOH, what I am NOT is low information when it comes to science :))) DAK
