Well, kind of. A brain study published a couple of weeks ago shows people with conservative political views tend to have more knee-jerk reactions and are less open to new experiences than liberals. Surprise, surprise. ;)

I believe this was brought up in a thread recently.

But if it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.
