Something To Think About -- No, Really

[filkertom]

I link to this in the spirit of non-partisanship.

I'm not sure that I completely buy Kos's take on George Lakoff's new book, Don't Think Of An Elephant! But it's definitely got me thinking. Laskoff does seem to touch on something that I've had trouble wrapping my brain around, and it makes a fair amount of sense -- oversimplified, conservatives as patricians versus liberal/progressives as nurturers. Not saying one is better than the other, but saying This is what seems to be the point of conflict in their worldviews.

Thoughts?

The problem is that there are many different kinds of 'conservatives'--but I see this has already been mentioned.
