[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 794354, member: 31608"] Referenced article about the "liberal gene"; a somewhat larger sample size, although not concrete by any stretch. [URL='http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39891927/']Scientists say they've found the 'liberal gene'[/URL] Research into this sort of thing is provocative, to say the least. If gerrymandering upsets the modern, astute voter, perhaps in twenty or so years it will be obsolete - instead, the party in power (whomever it is - conservative or liberal) will come up with new ideas like allowing babies to vote based on their presumed political ideology; or, allowing prisoners a "proxy" vote based on a brain scan of some sort? Or, new ways to attack your opponents politically? Could be any number of things. Indeed, interesting. Sampling of some other reading: [URL='http://www.physorg.com/news81709369.html']Political-Genetic Theory Is Studied[/URL] [URL='http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/070524_ideological_leaning.html']Political Preference Is Half Genetic[/URL] [URL='http://web.archive.org/web/20100423130410/http://bookofodds.com/Relationships-Society/Politics-Civic-Life/Articles/A0640-Are-Politics-Genetic-The-New-Science-of-Political-Physiology']Are Politics Genetic?
