But are liberals actually smarter? A libertarian (and, as such, nonpartisan)
researcher, Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics and Political
Science, has just written a paper that is set to be published in March by the
journal Social Psychology Quarterly. The paper investigates not only whether
conservatives are dumber than liberals but also why that might be so.
...
The short answer: Kanazawa's paper shows that more-intelligent people are more
likely to say they are liberal. They are also less likely to say they go to
religious services. These aren't entirely new findings; last year, for example,
a British team found that kids with higher intelligence scores were more likely
to grow into adults who vote for Liberal Democrats, even after the researchers
controlled for socioeconomics. What's new in Kanazawa's paper is a provocative
theory about why intelligence might correlate with liberalism. He argues that
smarter people are more willing to espouse "evolutionarily novel" values � that
is, values that did not exist in our ancestral environment, including weird
ideas about, say, helping genetically unrelated strangers (liberalism, as
Kanazawa defines it), which never would have occurred to us back when we had to
hunt to feed our own clan and our only real technology was fire.

Kanazawa offers this view of how such novel values sprang up in our ancestors:
Imagine you are a caveman (if it helps, you are wearing a loincloth and have
never shaved). Lightning strikes a tree near your cave, and fire threatens. What
do you do? Natural selection would have favored the smart specimen who could
quickly conceive answers to such a problem (or other rare catastrophes like
sudden drought or flood), ....

This is reminding me an awful lot of an incident with my boss, a real
winger, about 30 years ago. I was designing a rather complicated piece
of computer equipment, and he was writing the manual. He asked me to
read it. It was full of bad grammar and misspelled words. I pointed
this out to him, trying to be diplomatic. He replied, "The New York
Times is written on a sixth grade reading level." I explained to him
that when they say that, they mean that the Times can be read by a
sixth grader, not that it was written by a sixth grader. His response
was along the lines of, "Well, you don't want to sound too smart, it
will scare the customers."

He has a thing for grass. He likes knolls too.
I know what you mean. I recall the leftwing nut who told me that it
would be eay to feed all the homeless people, just let them eat at
McD's and send the government the bill - and she was dead serious.
I could just use some 1/2" allthread through all three pieces
of lumber, fastened with washers and nuts, but I dislike the
look of the protruding hardware.
I thought of using a tee nut on one side, but the only supplier
of those parts in 1/2-13 apparently cannot ship them.
Now I'm thinking of removing the hex from the outside of some
coupling nuts so that I can use them to join the ends of a
couple of button head recess hex cap screws with washers.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Think separation of variables. I'm guessing that your primary need for
strength is in shear, which could be served by one or more flush-cut
steel rods. Retention by horizontal tension could be accomplished
with lag bolts.
What a spelling flame !!
Actually, the study was a little bit flawed, IMHO.
It was about college & education & we all know that only
the best & the brightest of the wingers could get in in the
first place (plus a few cheaters that found out how to
write test answers on their hands or had $$ tutors & were
legacies they HAD to admit & not fail).
So it was a biased study.
In favor of wingers as so very many were excluded
from the test samples in the first place.

Two wingers were digging a ditch in the hot sun.
One finally looks at the other and asks "Say why do we have to stay out in the
heat and dig this damn ditch"?
The other winger says "Why don't you go and ask the foreman?"
So he does.
"My buddy asks why we are the only ones out in the heat digging this ditch and
you always sitting in the shade drinking that cold drink"?
The foreman says "Winger, grab your shovel and meet me over here at this tree
and I'll be happy to show you why".
So he gets his shovel and goes over to where the foreman is standing.
The foreman tells the winger "Winger, put your hand on this tree and hand me
that shovel. Do not remove your hand from this tree no matter what. OK?"
The winger puts his hand on the tree and says "OK I won't move".
The foreman then takes the shovel and swings it as hard as he can and almost
completely smashes the winger's hand.
Now the foreman puts his hand on the tree and gives the shovel back to the
winger and says "Go ahead; I know you want to, hit my hand as hard as you can".
The winger hauls off and swings the shovel with all of his might.
Just as the shovel gets near his hand the foreman moves it and the shovel hits
the tree.
"Now winger" says the foreman "do you understand why I'm in the shade and you
and that other winger are in the ditch"?
The winger says "Yes, I think so".
So back in the ditch he goes.
The other winger's curiosity is killing him so he asks "What did the foreman
say about your question"?
"I don't know how to explain it" says the winger whose hand is still in bad
pain.
Well, the other one keeps bugging him until finally he says "Okay, I'll show
you what he said." He then puts his hand in front of his face and tells the
other winger "Take your shovel and hit my hand as hard as you can."

Most of it zings right past you Liberals but it's nice to see it's not
always wasted. I don't claim to be an intelligent Liberal... so my
being delusional wasn't a problem. I kinda think I made it look good on
paper(what intelligent Liberals do) and made the point that Intelligent
Liberals are pompous and their exercise in mental yoga(twisting things
into unreal shapes) isn't impressive. They have yet to solve the
problems of the world, in fact they are causing more problems than they
solve, they even shoot each other like crazy religious zealots(Libs
really hate to be considered equals to religious people) in the military.
I got a chuckle out of writing it, it was funny on so many levels.
The original story said the educated Liberals were perceived as ugly
freaks. Utopia-land equals Academia... Unicorns are wind and solar

"10 Take Aways From the Bush Years"
[
There's actually a lot that President-elect Barack Obama can learn from the
troubled presidency of George W. Bush. Over the past eight years, I have
interviewed President Bush for nearly 11 hours, spent hundreds of hours with his
administration's key players and reviewed thousands of pages of documents and
notes. That produced four books, totaling 1,727 pages, that amount to a very
long case study in presidential decision-making, and there are plenty of morals
to the story. Presidents live in the unfinished business of their predecessors,
and Bush casts a giant shadow on the Obama presidency with two incomplete wars
and a monumental financial and economic crisis. Here are 10 lessons that Obama
and his team should take away from the Bush experience.

"The true history of the Bush years"
[
The Bush administration is ending. If Bush & Co. didn�t entirely wreck the
place, it was for no lack of trying. George himself achieved astonishing depths
of failure. His most notable achievements were all unintentional, and he still
doesn�t know what they were.
Here�s the biggest one: Although the American people have been fed a diet of
cynical disinformation about government for the last half-century or more, the
Bush years re-taught millions of them that voting is important, that established
parties aren�t identical, that primaries are a mechanism for assessing and
refining candidates, and that campaign speeches don�t have to consist entirely
of hot air and patriotic-sounding generalities.
There will be histories written about the Bush administration. They�ll be privy
to information we don�t have yet, because the future is like that. On the other
hand, we have our own privileged knowledge: We know how the story looked like to
people who didn�t know how it was going to come out.
Now, in this moment before a changing world overwrites our memories of the era,
let us pause to salute our constant companion of those years: The Onion. Other
histories of the Bush years will doubtless be more factual, but none will ever
be truer.

blacks would get on a boat and go back to Africa? Cause if he did 30 years ago
he would have been a Democrat.
More correctly the rightwingers get tired of the name calling and irational

One grammaticly correct sentence?
Your epic failure is noted.
Hey, good answer. You managed to take what was a clearly true statement
about it being the right wingers who killfile people they disagree with
and dodged it. Instead of admitting the truth to this statement you made
the excuse that the wingers do this because the "liberals" name calling
and rantings are too much to bear. That was a nice try but anyone who
has read this news group finds out real fast the no one calls more names
or engages in irrational rants than the right wingers do. But that is
not the point is it? The point is the right wingers can't deal with
hearing opposing views. So they killfile people with liberal views. That
is what a pussy would do. But what would you expect from the
conservatives, who pretend to be tough guys when they are really wimps?
This is just a case of if you can't take the heat don't go in the
kitchen. Right wingers can't take the heat so they have to use the
killfile. Which is just what I expect from them.

A couple of other interesting liberal ideas:
A man with no children goes to jail for not paying child support.
If a man kills a pregnant woman he can be charged with murdering 2 people,
seems the unborn child is a living person unless the mother want to kill it.
RogerN
And yet kiling he doctor who might give an abortion is ok according to some.
Seems the born doctor is deemed better dead if a person wants to kill him
There's a job for you then. How about you take a survey of the newsgroup
and tally up how many derogatory remarks and childish personal attacks
you find and let us know who is the most guilty of doing it? I've been
reading the posts here for quite a while and I find the worst and most
personal attacks come from the right wing people. You could see who are

Varies according to state. So its a "states right" issue. If you have
a problem with that take it up with the 10th amendment to the
constitution.
> http://parental-rights.suite101.com/article.cfm/parental_consent_an
> d_notification
In the United States, most states will not allow minors to obtain
abortions without parental consent or notification.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, forty-four states have laws on
the books that require parental involvement...
<shrugs>
> http://www.ehow.com/about_5472248_parental-consent-abortions.html
>
Since abortion was affirmed as a right in 1973, states have needed to
address how they were going to handle underage women seeking to
terminate their pregnancies. The first state to enact parental
involvement laws was Massachusetts, which chose to put into place
parental consent shortly after the right of abortion was recognized.

People will find what they wish to see when they do that. It was like
the health summit.....Republicans saw it much differently than the
Democrats but both of them were at the same conference.
What about if you just make it a project you do for the fun of it? No
need to make a big deal of it. Just make a note when you see the really
bad examples and keep tabs on whether it's a right winger or a liberal.
But since there are so few liberals here I don't see how they could
possibly do the most name calling and ranting.

That's true but it's the same with a boxing match. You have judges to
decide who won because you know the fighters will each say they won. I
think you can tell when someone is calling someone names or going off. I
just thought you might be a good judge for where the most of the shit is
coming from. I could do it but the right wingers would say I'm biased. I
don't think they would say that about you but I could be wrong. If you
find what I suspect, that the right wingers are by far the worst, they
would say anyone was biased against them.

In my case, it would be Curly that would say I was biased. ;)

In any case..... have a nice day, mon ami. ;)
Nope, but that isn't what was said. Let me cite it for you: "...it's
the gun control idiots that run scared.". Do you need some time for that
to sink in? ;)

It is the folks from the party of choice get upset if someone actually
makes a choice that differs from theirs. Hell, see the Tebow
controversy.
Nope - it's the "progressives".
That underage girls need parents permission to get an asprin at school but
not to get an abortion in some states. There are health risks to consider,
I don't remember the statistics but there are problems with depression,
cancer, and other health risks to women that have abortions that should be
considered. I heard from a doctor that doctors are required to tell
patients about complications and risks of all surgical proceedures except
abortion, the liberals have made or tried to make it illegal for a doctor to
inform patients of the negative consequences of abortion.

Caused by the Bradley bill. Senator Bradley made it so a man owing child
support can't get out of it no matter what. If he can scientifically prove
he's not a parrent, he still owes the child support. A business can go
bankrupt and be free of debt, not so with man owing child support. I was
flown by helicopter to a hospital, in ICU 2 weeks, hospitalized for a couple
months, didn't return to work for 3 months and had to pay every cent of
child support even though I had no income, had enormous hospital bills, and
was unable to go to court to get the order changed. I understand that
deadbeat dads is what got the support behind such a bill but you don't
punish paying dads because of those that don't pay. Actually I think the
EVIL part is more on the politician, I have many liberal and conservative
friends. Sometimes I think there is a larger separation between citizens
and politicians than there is between political parties.
It don't make a lot of sense to want to kill because you're against killing.
But would it have been wrong to kill Adolph Hitler to save the lives of many
others? Killing Dr Tiller, imo, is like treating the symptom. It would be
better to put in the effort to help prevent the unwanted pregnancies, then
you wouldn't need the abortions.

"I don't remember...and other [unquantified] health risks to women that
have abortions...should be considered. I heard..."
Good for you. Now, what right do you have to prevent the free will choice
of someone else?
Apart from none at all, I mean...
On the other hand..killing the one to save the many does make a good
deal of sense.

Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your
wallet, your ass, and your guns because the sombitch is about to do
something damned nasty to all three of them.
What right did the liberals have in making killing children a free will
choice? And what right did liberals have in preventing doctors from
informing the patient about the procedure, something the doctor is required
by law to do for other procedures?
So are you saying that anyone has the right to their free will choice? If
someone chooses to kill their child before it is born, it is OK, why not
after it is born? Maybe we should be able to kill our children anytime we
choose as long as they are dependant on us. And let's have equal rights
too, either the mother or the father can kill the child. And no one has the
right to prevent them from doing it?
"Mom, Dad, I graduated college but need to move back home for a while until
I get a job" BANG! from dads 12 gauge, just another late term abortion.
Innocent babies, liberals say "KILL THEM", convicted serial killers,
liberals say "PROTECT THEM".

"what right do you have..."
Note the ever so subtle difference in nuance.
