It turns out that Liberals are the way they are because their parents didn’t talk to them.

Reading bedtime stories to babies and talking to them from birth boosts their brain power and sets them up for success at school, researchers say.

Studies on babies and toddlers found that striking differences emerged in their vocabularies and language processing skills as early as 18 months old.

Children whose parents spoke to them least came out worst in language tests, and at 24 months old some lagged behind their contemporaries by up to six months. The handicap often stayed with the children and influenced how well they did at school over the next six years.

Prof Anne Fernald, a developmental psychologist at Stanford University, said chatting with infants helped them grasp the rules and rhythms of language at an early age and provided them with a foundation to build up an understanding of how the world worked.

Repetition helped children to remember words, while learning relationships between words, such as "the horse pulls the cart", helped them to construct a picture of the world that paid dividends when they reached school age.

Now we all know the real reason, you're a victom of non talking parents . :):)

So I was raised by mutes? Who knew?

c'mon my friend, you're not one of them :)

you're a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, probably not very far from me on the political spectrum

of course, my emphasis is almost entirely on fiscal matters, that may be where we differ.

and I don't think you like Obama either

the liberals I know seem to have the very same type of upbringing as me

but it's those inner city liberals, the difference makers, those single parent families with 1 mommy and 6 baby daddys that make studies like this true

Willie, you are probably right. Over the years I have become more of a Libertarian.
