Hi wavydog,

Curious comment. Aren't we still awaiting evidential support for any of your dogmas? I was beginning to think they had no link with reality.

I'm fine that you hang with folks who all agree with you and each other and Rush Limbaugh!! ;-)

"But at the same time, it’s also likely that conservatives, tending to be more closed-minded and more authoritarian, have a stronger emotional need for an outlet like Fox, where they can find affirmation and escape from the belief challenges constantly presented by the “liberal media.” Their psychological need for something affirmative is probably stronger than what’s encountered on the opposite side of the aisle—as is their revulsion towards allegedly liberal (but really centrist) media outlets.

And thus we find, at the root of our political dysfunction, a classic nurture-nature mélange. The penchant for selective exposure is rooted in our psychology and our brains. Closed-mindedness and authoritarianism—running stronger in some of us than in others—likely are as well."

re Alea home: Do you people ever actually interact with other members of society? You seem to have an incredibbly skewed vision of reality.
