Default Re: Political leanings influenced by confirmation bias

What's most interesting about this study, at least from what Neo said, is that political leanings are controlled by the emotion centers of your brain. Not the logic centers of your brain. Obviously, it's a long way from MRI readings to actual workings of the brain, but it suggests that none of us is as reasonable as we think we are.

And if you say "duh" at me again, Strangler, I'll steal your Michael Moore rifle target.
