Ravager's Wiki Page
I don't like this concept. I wish the link below my avatar was much smaller than it is, or that I had the option to toggle this "wiki" thing off. If you want a real wiki, go to Wikipedia. Go learn something. Wiki. Humbug.

Army arrests single mother who refuses to deploy Superiors told her to put 10-month-old baby in foster care.
Ut oh... Faux News declares cyberwar on the liberal blogosphere!!!
My favourite part is when they talk about how "John", the proprietor of the News1News YouTube channel, is apparently sooo important that Faux had to take him down, even though he is just another person like you & me. Sorry, but the people will listen to someone just like them too!
So how do we know this is a politically-motivated move by Fox to hinder the liberal blogosphere's ability to make fun of them? Because plenty of Fox News clips are still available on YouTube—only on conservative-leaning channels: GlennBeckDailyClips, for example has more than 630 clips of, well, the Glenn Beck Program. And ConservativeNation has 186 stomach-churning videos from the whole spectrum of quality Fox News programing. Also: Duh, Fox News would totally do something like this.

Speaking of PTSD, I have come up with the conclusion that America is suffering from PTSD as a result of 9/11. I believe if you look up all of the requirements and criteria for PTSD in the DSM-IV(TR) it really explains the mental state of the nation that we've been seeing lately. Let me know if you agree.

I've seen some of the studies post 9-11, that people who viewed the events exhibited minor stressors of PTSD. People in NYC who witnessed it live and in person were hugely at risk for PTSD. As someone from the Midwest, we had a buffer from those events- we turned out TVs off.
I think it affected people in more areas than just New York. I have a friend who turned into a full fledged paranoid fool after 9/11. He could foresee nothing, but doom and gloom. I also think it explains why all of sudden illegal immigration because such a hot button topic 9/11.
Neurologists believe that a person's political affiliation is hard wired into his or her brain. I wonder if people who are conservatives have a more active limbic system than people who identify as liberals. This may explain why conservatives tend to respond more to fear.

I saw that same study a long time ago. Political affiliation is a mixture of parents' affiliation and life experiences. Whatever is going on in the brain, people do change affiliation over time. I think it's interesting that paranoids tend to self select themselves into conservative affiliations as a way to cope with their condition.
True, but in addition to parental influence, people tend to inherit their parents' traits. If musical ability can be inherited, why can't the tendency to lean toward liberalism or conservatism? I don't think it's written in stone, but it is something to think about. I have a two friends who are sisters. They are both conservative, but their parents are die hard liberals. I have no idea why they are both conservative, but to be honest, they are both pretty moderate. The older sister was so disgusted with the Republican party over the past eight years that she tends to see herself more as an independent now.
Hey, didn't you have a blog post about this at one time? I could have sworn I read about it from you because this is not the first time I have heard you talk about it. Do you have the link for it? Grrr, I wish you used tags because I just tried searching for it on your blog lol
I had a post on the research study, but I couldn't find it either. I remember remarking on the study, because it used a faux spider to study levels of fear, and the study was originally from UNL from the Psychology Department.
Some stories to keep you entertained:
Two dozen students ranging from 11-15 arrested in food fight
Part of me wants to say that the authorities went pretty far, but the other part of me says that if I was caught in the crossfire, I would be perfectly fine with the consequences that these students faced. I used to be terrified that a food fight would break out. Food is so disgusting!
Marine reservist attacks Greek priest he mistook for terrorist
Geeee.. what an idiot
Music industry gives up ban on cameras in concerts
It is about damn time. How did they think they could control this? Moreover, how do they think they can control piracy? Bah

I saw that.
Did you see the GOP's POS alternative? They will cover only 2% of current uninsured persons, and spend 69 billion to do it.
