Re: Study finds left-wing brain, right-wing brain

Would the same approximation apply if you really had to go and letter
on the door was either M or W?

Liberals do it anyway, knowing full well that in some parts of the
world it's frowned upon. But on the other hand they are open to the
experience.
Conservatives do it too, but recognize the folly of their ways only after.
Survivors are oblivious before _and_ after.

It all depends on what keys to press and in what circumstances.
Doesn't really matter if it's really fine BS or just S that one is
currently dealing with ;)

Just couldn't resist.
