bcholmesOh, give me a break. This kind of "brain difference" science has been applied to the genders for, like, forever. Now they're saying it about liberals and conservatives. Yeeesh.
The brain is extremely plastic. Its behaviour is shaped by the things we expose it to. This study seems to reduce to "liberals process information differently than conservatives because liberals have a history of processing information differently than conservatives." Big whoop.
