I have no idea what the mechanism might be. Have you ever seen one of those studies of identical twins who, because of adoptions, were literally "separated at birth?" I read one where these two guys (identical twins) grew up in very different families, but as adults they bought the same kind of house, married women with the same name, both had the habit of flushing a toilet before they used it, and both had made swings in their front yards from old tires for their kids. There was more stuff like that, I don't remember it all, but it was just amazing how many "coincidences" these two men fell into.

I don't think we understand enough about how the brain works to say for sure one way or the other. But I think the empirical evidence points to a predisposition toward constrained or unconstrained vision in a 50-50 ratio. Despite the best efforts of our "educators" to turn out 100% good little leftists, that's not what happens. What happens is reasonably close elections, most of the time, with the occasional blowout when one side or the other picks an especially good or bad candidate.

BTW, I don't think Bush is an especially good "candidate," but Kerry is an especially bad one, so we might get a blowout this time. Let's hope so.

I remember on Donahue or Oprah there was a show about a freshman guy at a college. Someone came up to him and talked to him like he knew him, and it took like 10 minutes to figure out that they never met. It turns out the guy was adopted and had a twin brother going to the same college, with lots of the same experiences. The story made the local papers and some other guy saw the pic and he found out he was a triplet.

You Are A Democrat If . . .

You can't think for yourself and need an unfeeling bureaucrat to think for you.

You are pretty sure there isn’t a God, and if there is, He doesn’t really mean it when He tells you not to sin, because there’s no such thing as “sin,” and there are absolutely no absolutes.

Even though evil doesn’t exist, you still think that life is harsh and cruel and unfair to you in particular, and thus it is ok to be lazy, go on welfare and try to "beat the system" to get as much money as possible,

Just to make sure we know, bumper stickers tell us how much you care and what a good person you are.

You have a keen habit of recording names in cemeteries so that you can vote early and often, and your leftist friends at the polling place will ignore all voter fraud....providing you vote properly for the Democrats.

If you are an elected official who commits a crime and there is no mention of party affiliation in the news reports... then you are a Democrat.

"Hey, there is no right or wrong. If you mean well, that's all that matters."
