How to spot a baby conservative

I can't see this study being factual whatsoever... a lot of liberals i've ever encountered (not all of them) lacked responsibility, hated authoritative figures, and constantly complained and *****ed. Let's do the same study from a red state and see how many kids complain that have been swinging hay all their lives...

I think the only way to do this sort of study is in a region that's 50/50 on the polls and with x10 the people. If you do it in Berkeley then the chances of getting more good apples are greater. You get to pick more good ones from a larger batch. More of them probably grew up liberal because of immediate outside influences. What a waste of 20yrs...

The study does seem a little 'bell curve'ish. I don't really trust it, but hey...I was an independant non-whiner according to people who knew me before I can remember.

At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area...

EDIT: Think about this for example:
South: lesser income than New England, more conservative
New England: very liberal

I agree that political leanings should be attributed to a variety of factors. The south is conservative and votes Republican primarily because of the predominance of Christian voters.
