Even if it were true.. Government indoctrination has at least as much to do with it as genetics.

It's telling that you can put someone in a college setting for a couple of years and turn them into a liberal with amazing precision.

They like to portray this as becoming "smart"

I'd agree with that, except their prescriptions do not work.

Therefore, it must be something else.

Atmosphere and peer pressure are insanely powerful. The Amish way of life, for instance, is maintained solely by peer pressure. The threat of being shunned.

You see this with words. Like "nigger". That's just a word, and I hear it all the time, being a construction worker, and hanging out at DLP. The word has almost no meaning to me. I'm desensitized to it.

But I can remember, back in High School, hearing my Dad use that word and being shocked and appalled, because, you know, that was unacceptable!!!
