The Rant Shanty: Study: Whiney Kids Turn Out Conservative, Confident Kids Turn Out Liberal

Monday, March 20, 2006

Makes sense...a confident kid isn't afraid to ask questions, think outside of the box, or stand up for what they believe. A whiney kid doesn't like change and gets upset when his world is violated by his perception.

I like your blog...it has an inherrent confidence and open-mindedness that reminds me of a little girl I once knew in Pre-K.

I had always suspected that early childhood (mis)development played a crucial role in future behaviors and attitudes. Thanks for the article to back up my suspicion. I may link to it from my site www.vergelimbo.com.

Drop in and say a confident hello anytime.

Try it again, and I think you may find I said I liked your blog, and that you reminded me of a confident Kid [ie liberal minded] as in: like me, on both counts. It rather seems you see whiney conservatives where there are none, or you can't read very well. [?]

vergelimbo said...: Well, Diva, usually I AM being sarcastic... check out vergelimbo.com blog and you'll see.
Also, being compared to my first true love was meant as a compliment.
