    The political mind...

    ...BBC presents a research project into the actual physiological background of political opinions. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7623256.stm I thought this might be interesting, although I'll add that one should always be careful when it comes to drawing any definite conclusions...
