SPECIAL TO THE STAR

Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always
thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher
with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative.

At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that
social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years. The confident,
resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals.

The study from the Journal of Research Into Personality isn't going to
make the UC Berkeley professor who published it any friends on the right.
But the new results are worth a look. ....
