So what?
...you don't think that, if certain political positions spawn primarily from a physiological defect that causes an overabundance of fear rather than any sort of rational thought process, this is a problem?
So, you;re perfectly fine with major political policy decisions being made based on an admittedly emotional basis of fear rather than pragmatic, realistic policies driven by accurate information and rational thinking?
I mean, it's entirely possible that I'm misunderstanding you, CS, what with your verbose contribution to the discussion of two fucking words.
But personally, if it is true that a specific set of political positions are closely correlated to an overabundance of fear caused by a brain abnormality, I'd be a little disturbed.
I'd be a lot more disturbed by people who think that's just dandy.
