The response to fear is an instinct necessary for human survival. Since the amygdala in conservatives is bigger than in others that means they have a better chance at survival than those whose amygdala is smaller than a conservative's is. Thanks for brightening my day by telling me that conservatives have a better chance at survival than liberals do. No, an oversized hormonal gland is not the key to survival and, in some cases, it may trigger behavior which threatens not only survival of the individual, but maybe even the species. How large do you suppose the amygdala on the average lemming might be? What about cassowaries or emus? Sorry, but when it comes to the higher species, we should be measuring their cerebral cortex, not the gland that pumps cortisol.

We know that far out ultra leftists dream of equal outcomes, and equalized wealth, with no nail sticking up and nonconforming. Yes, a far out leftist like Kamala Harris, the junior Senator and former Attorney General of California. You're beginning to sound like Cleon Skousen. Anyone he didn't like was automatically tagged a far out Marxist.

Anyone he didn't like was automatically tagged a far out Marxist. Since I don't know and have never met Sen. Harris I neither like nor dislike her. That her father was an avowed Marxist is a strong indication that her views are very far to the left.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Ms. Harris said America was not working for working people, that health care costs were driving people to near bankruptcy and that she supported “Medicare for all.” She railed against gun violence, described climate change as man-made and endorsed the Green New Deal. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/18/us/politics/kamala-harris-town-hall.htmlThe plan must include a federal jobs guarantee and large-scale public investments. Again, the GND is not just climate policy. It’s about transforming the economy, lifting the up the poor and middle class, and creating a more muscular, active public sector. The GND “opens an opportunity to renegotiate power relationships between the public sector, the private sector, and the people,” says Gunn-Wright. “We are interested in solutions that create more democratic structures in our economy.” https://www.vox.com/energy-and-envi.../green-new-deal-alexandria-ocasio-cortezMedicare for all and the Green New Deal are steps toward Socialism. When the only provider of health care is our government that is Socialism. When the energy industry is run by our government that is Socialism. Since Sen. Harris supports both Medicare for all and the Green New Deal she is a Socialist.

My dear friend Senator H,
It must be nice to live in a world where you get to define your terms (and thus your enemies) willy-nilly without regard to standards or rationality. Most of us are constrained by the real world, and are thus at a disadvantage. I suppose, though, that gives everyone the equal right to describe your views as they like, too.
You have, I understand, voted Republican. That means that the list of horribles Greger previously supplied are now verified as applicable. I appreciate that concession. It clarifies so much. I'm sure this discussion will be so much simpler in the future.

Medicare for all and the Green New Deal are steps toward Socialism. The Green New Deal is a concept, it doesn't actually exist yet. Do you think the things I have suggested for the Green New Deal are steps toward Socialism?
