I had one friend in high school, recently he hung himself with string
his note said: if livin’ is the problem, well that’s just baffling
and at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love
and I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of
we sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss
and I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off
she said, The slow fade of love, its soft edge might cut you
and our poor friend Jim, well, he just lived within the slow fade of love
Liberal, conservatives may have different brain structures - USAToday →
Opposing political views may be linked to differences in brain structures, a new study suggests.
Researchers at University College London found that liberals tend to have a larger anterior cingulate cortex, while conservatives have a larger amygdala. Based on what’s known about the roles of these two areas of the brain, the structural differences are consistent with previous studies that found liberals are better able to cope with conflicting information and are more open to new experiences, while conservatives are better able to recognize a threat and more anxious when faced with uncertainty, according to team leader Ryota Kanai and colleagues.
The study appears online April 7 in the journal Current Biology.
Just as I had suspected….
Poll shows increase in Florida voters' dislike for Gov. Rick Scott →
“TALLAHASSEE — Booed at a ballpark. Protested at a parade. Mocked on fake dollar bills.
Rick Scott doesn’t just seem more disliked — he is, in fact, growing increasingly unpopular, according to the latest Quinnipiac University survey of 1,499 registered Florida voters.
The poll found that 48 percent disapprove of the job Scott is doing — more than double the level measured in a February poll.
Only 35 percent give the Republican newcomer a favorable rating, exactly what it was more than a month ago.”
What did you expect to happen, idiots who voted for Rick Scott?
