Early signs of political leanings??

This article in the Toronto Star caught my eye. Click here
to read it. A couple of excerpts...

"Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative."
The study also claims "The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals."

Interesting to read but I think studies like this are potentially dangerous when you consider how much some parents micromanage their kids. Micromanaging and pigeonholing kids is going to spawn a whole new crop of studies (and a whole new crop of kids in therapy). Just watch.
