A TALE OF TWO BRAINS….

A recent New York University and UCLA study indicates there’s a real difference between a liberal’s brain–and a conservative’s brain..

In other words—-politics isn’t a choice–-it’s genetic..

You’re either born a blue brain or a red brain..

Now.. I’m not the smartest guy in the room—and I don’t have a string of letters following my name to indicate my degree of brilliance—but I have to wonder about this piece of research.

Let’s look at this… You would think that one’s political views are formed by a confluence of experience… And, you would think different events and experiences in your life would mold your views on life—and thus your political viewpoint.

Yeah.. you might think that….

But the folks who know better than us say HOLD ON—you were born with your politics already decided.

Nope, your views can’t change. You can’t become more conservative—or more liberal as you go about life.

You’re stuck. A Blue Brainer, or a Red Brainer. Case closed.

Does this mean EVERYTHING we do is predetermined at birth?

So Long Personal responsibility!

..Sorry I robbed the bank officer. I can’t help it. I was born with a bank robbers brain! Genetic, you know!

…Nope… Honey, I really wasn’t cheating on you.. It’s just that ole’ brain of mine. It’s hard wired that way. Now let’s forgive, forget and move on!

Yeah, this opens a world of possibilities!

Nothing will ever be our fault again. We’re just born that way!

Now—perhaps I’m reading a little too much into this study. But, did you notice WHERE it was conducted? At schools in NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES.

And aren’t those parts of the country considered centers for liberal thinking—

or am I just being a no-brainer?
