I've been toying with the notion that much of the appeal of liberalism is to the reptilian brain.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk... Basal, limbic, whathaveyou-- this is an in-neresting article here, Cow, even though somebody misspelled "intellectual" in the first graphic... [snortle]

Reading through the descriptions of the so-called reptilian and mammalian brain centers, or residuals if you will, I was struck by the realization of how many folks I have come across that seem to operate purely on these levels... Liberals for sure, but not only them... Well for that matter, we all have our animal moments. I myself went to Mickey D's this morning because I durn well FELT like it, blatantly disregarding vague resolutions to quit that sh!t and eat more carrots or something, bwaha...

But how many of us don't delve into our brains' potential like we should? How many of us are content with intellectual lethargy and stagnation, letting our minds go to rot as the world passes us by in one big vaudeville show? As the Saint Paul or somebody said, I am the chief offender. (Hey, it's Sunday. ;)

Well to OUR credit it takes some mental exertion to be a conservative. You gotta know WHY you believe in stuff that makes other folks revile you, so we got that going for us...
