Yes, I actually read that a couple weeks ago. Very interesting stuff. And not really all that surprising if one understands human nature.
It actually brings up one of the basic differences between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives think that man is basically evil, hence our need for salvation to spend eternity in the presence of our Savior. Liberals think man is basically good and therefore believe a purely communist world of mutual love, respect, and sharing, unhindered by private property rights, etc. is the true utopia that evolution accidentally afforded us.
You can see the difference in the way both sides respond to events and government actions.
