"Keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe from harm is perhaps our
strongest human motivation, deeply embedded in our very DNA. It is so
deep and important that it influences much of what we think and do,
maybe more than we might expect. For example, over a decade now of
research in political psychology consistently shows that how physically
threatened or fearful a person feels is a key factor — although clearly
not the only one — in whether he or she holds conservative or liberal
attitudes."
Conservatives have been pressing the fear button harder and harder.
"Fear is the mind-killer." The question is how to help everyone deal
with their fears. Sometimes humour can help. Via Paula R.
