a very intesting study on “how to spot a baby conservative“… makes pretty damn good sense to me!

20-year-long study shows that children who were whiny and insecure tend to grow up to be conservatives and “confident, resilient, self-reliant” children tend to grow up to be liberals. “He reasons that insecure kids look for the reassurance provided by tradition and authority, and find it in conservative politics. The more confident kids are eager to explore alternatives to the way things are, and find liberal politics more congenial.”

    well, just for old time’s sake, you could have built and ‘easter nest’ on the front doorstep of your apt… and waited for the easter bunny to bring you a stuffed bunny and candy!
    not those nasty ‘peeps’ though… yuck!!

    I really like the photo of the peeps. Yum! I wish we still got to do egg hunts and get huge easter baskets filled with jelly beans, carmel eggs, etc…

    Those were the days!
