Herb – You were dismissive of the premise. I did not say Dr. Rossiter has scientifically proven liberalism is a mental disorder.

What I said was, his clinical assumptions are compelling and as an esteemed physician with 40+ years of clinical experience as a forensic psychiatrist I found his writings on this subject helpful to my understanding of the liberal mind.

Why haven’t Dr. Rossiter’s writings become more mainstream? Because frankly, most people don’t sit around reading clinical studies like I do. To illustrate this point, bone morphogenic proteins have become one of the most, if not the most effective treatment for osteoblastic morphology in spine fusion surgery. Many surgeons don’t use BMP’s because they are expensive. But if the public was aware of the remarkable benefits BMP’s afford in spine fusion, those having the procedure would ask for them in every case since the clinical success rate for the procedure is 50% +/-. There are many forces that conspire to keep good data from the people.
