Science has unlocked the secret to political affiliation:
Researchers at the University of California and Los Angeles claim that Democrats and Republicans actually have different physiological make-ups.
According to them, whereas Democrats get fearful and excited at the mere thought of an attack, Republicans actually have to witness the attack to show any emotions.
The researchers found that Democrat’s amygdala ? a region of the brain responsible for strong emotions such as compassion and fear ? started jumping when they saw President Bush’s television commercials about the 9/11 attack.
But Republican’s amygdala stayed calm till they actually saw the attack on the WTC, reports the New York Daily News.
“It’s certainly not that they don’t care, the world is a dangerous place, terrible things happen, and you have to be strong, but their lack of response may just reflect their world-view” the report quoted psychiatrist Joshua Freedman, as saying.
“It’s possible they now fear the election, or feel they may lose the White House,” added another Neurologist Marco Iacoboni.
Sounds about right.
