"Psychological Science" showed that children who score low on intelligence tests gravitate toward socially conservative political views in adulthood.

According to lefties conservatives have all the money.

Sure is nice to be stupid AND rich.

I guess all the welfare folks that don't vote conservative are really smart.

do you realize that there's a debate here that goes back 3000 years, to old bearded dudes discussing life in the athenian acropolis?

intelligence. wealth. and, more importantly, the desire for wealth, and it's ultimate value. we've been trying to sort this out a long time.

but, a lot of pretty smart people have had some pretty compelling arguments to side with the welfare folks over the ceos when it comes to measuring intelligence levels.

i don't understand that study, though. i'm some kind of social liberal that pulls the basic combination that defines it (economic collectivism, individual freedom) to a pseudo-anarchist extreme when i'm sober, but i turn into a ranting and raving total anarchist when i'm inebriated...
