    It has been widely observed throughout the media that the radical left is concentrated in New York and California, with the rest of the country being more centrist or slightly right leaning. New research promises to explain what may be contributing to the phenomena.

    Actually, this is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Research is recording higher levels of heavy metals in blood compared to the last century, which causes changes in behavior and brain dysfunction. Scientists are beginning to understand how exposures outside our bodies affect the growth and changes in the brain. It has been known for years that the brain "re-wires" itself as it becomes exposed to trauma or substances.

    The affects of pot, for example, have been known for years:
    "TUESDAY, April 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Young people who occasionally smoke marijuana may be rewiring their brains, with their pot use causing structural changes to brain regions related to motivation, emotion and reward, a small study says.

    Recreational pot use by a small group of young adults caused significant changes to the shape and density of both the nucleus accumbens, a region of the brain involved in reward and addiction, and the amygdala, which helps process emotion and form long-term memories, the study authors reported.


    These changes show that pot users' brains adapt to even low-level marijuana exposure, potentially making a person more vulnerable to drug addiction or changing their thought processes and emotions in unknown ways, the researchers said.

    'These are two brain regions you do not want to mess around with," said study senior author Dr. Hans Breiter, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "All parts of the brain are important, but some, like these, are more fundamental. It raises a very serious issue, given that we saw these changes in casual marijuana users.'" https://consumer.healthday.com/ment...marijuana-use-to-changes-in-brain-686842.html


    Just imagine the affect pollution and drugs together have on the mentality of big city dwellers! No wonder the politicians display signs of anti-psychotic medications, like Pelosi's tardive dyskinesia and Schiff's and AOC's glassy bug eyes.

    This just in: It has been known for years that magic beans may be causing huge beanstalks to grow up to the sky, a small study suggests.

    How much did this study cost? I've taught teenagers for years, I could have told them this for free. In fact, the biggest surprise in this study is that it's ONLY 30%. I would have pegged it at least at 99% and WITHOUT drugs involved!

    Yes but your opinion isn't backed with science which we need to not only identify the causes of liberalism but to hopefully make a cure for these people suffering from that affliction.

    If this was true China would be a country of more than a half a billion crazies since 55% of Chinese live in urban areas.

    AIR, period, causes psychotic episodes in teenagers.





    AND , how funny a righty is using air pollution as some sort of 'evidence" when their Lord and God Trump denies there is air pollution.....the right does not believe in air pollution because they say there is nothing to cause it.

    And the idea that Righty teenagers aren't affected??? What? Oh , ya, maybe mouth breathers aren't as affected :)

    It seems that 30% is the norm.

    I refuse to pay a company for the liberty I already have...What a laugh. It's like paying a union to allow you to have a job...Liberal philosophy allow you to have civil rights no conservative form of govt. would..Which was the cause of the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Revolution..

    If only any Conservatives were left. The Republicans are certainly not conservative. It's the trump party now.

    Conservatives don't cheer when a presidential candidate calls for the mass murder of innocent people.

    I agree that Trump is not a true conservative. You lost me on calling for mass murder of innocent people. Who's calling for that - and please give a factual and mature answer.
