LET US ALL GRIEVE FOR OUR COUNTRY TOGETHER: DIVIDE AND CONQUER WAS JUST PROVEN TO WORK, AGAIN

While I really would just like to go to bed and pull the covers over my head until after November, it just is not possible.  Instead, this blog will be brief and all should watch some research out of Lincoln, Nebraska on how people vote. 
From an article in BBC News:  "Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are studying liberals' and conservatives' reactions to happy or pleasant photographs and scary or sad ones in an effort to learn more about the cognitive underpinnings of political preference.

From the researchers:  click here.  

The findings? Conservatives tend to concentrate more on images considered to be negative, while liberals' eyes tend to linger on positive images, says political science professor John Hibbing. 

Instead of political opponents thinking the opposite party are being wilfully bull-headed, you can say 'well ok, they see the world differently than I do'

John Hibbing



I will go back into mourning for our country and the loss of my respect for the Roberts Supreme Court.
