	Ah yes, the famous Berzerkley child development studies.  I wonder
if those people have ever even heard of Jean Piaget and his work on
the stages of the development of childhood cognition.

	Oh, and as far as that canard about conservatives lacking an
"empathy gene" = one, it can be said just as much about liberals, as
they seem to have no empathy for the actual individuals who their
disastrous policies have adversely impacted.  Two, I have an "empathy
gene" - I just don't have a "slobbering compassion gene" that causes
people to approach things in a purely emotional fa****on bypassing the
higher centers of cognition.  And it is not that I lack that ability -
to react emotionally without applying reason to the situation - but
it's restricted to pretty women.
