"Hater" circuit found
Well, scientists didn't literally examine Sarah Palin's brain, but researchers have found an alleged 'hater" brain circuit. It's linked to areas of the brain involved with aggressive behavior and with predicting others' reactions, which makes sense.
This World Science story speculates the prefrontal connection for the hate circuit is because hate is just the opposite of love in one sense: It demands more mental focus, not less.
For details on Sarah Palin as "hater," Jake Tapper's got a full rundown of all the (one-time?) friends she's thrown under the snowmobile. It's not yet Nov. 4, so McCain isn't officially on the list.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
