which finds the difference between the conservative brain and the liberal brain. The conservatives are so locked in to the right vs wrong, left vs right, male vs female, white vs black, one way or the other way of believing. I have always been a shade of grey thinker. I'll bet most of us lefties are. Speaking of 'lefty', you know that left is sinister and right is divine? I hate it that they can always drag God over to 'their' side. I have long since had an interest in mental health and brain function. In my own unscientific study doing intake assessments for Mental health and Substance abuse, we used proverbs to separate the 'concrete' thinkers from the 'analytical' thinkers. The concrete thinkers took the literal meaning of a rolling stone gathers no moss. The analytical thinkers related it to human behaviors. I think the conservative thinkers tend to be more literal and concrete. the liberal thinkers seem more able to use symbolism and analysis. The same goes for the authoritarian stance of never questioning but blindly obeying orders and religious edicts. I can't imagine not questioning, exploring, and analyzing knowledge. I believe this is what sets us apart, what has lead to scientific discoveries and to the rise of Democracy. We are the thinkers!

I thought I would start keeping some thoughts in my DU journal. I'm not a big one for posting threads. I usually make comments and move on. I never have 'chatted' back and forth with anyone. I'm not sure how. I'm scared of the unfamilure. Now, i will see if this actually shows up on my journal page.
