[tips] Greetings.
Thanks, and yikes. (Yikes on the Fox 25 interview claiming that national health care leaves countries vulnerable to terrorism.) I agree that this would be a good clip to have students in social psych consider. I'm new to this list serve-very lively! Thanks. I will be teaching social psych and a senior thesis class this fall. Have others on this list read Drew Westen's book The Political Brain? In it he talks about how good the political right in the US is at using emotional appeals, and how the left fails when it uses exclusively rational appeals. (At least that is my interpretation of one aspect of the book.) The health care debate seems to exemplify this. It puzzles me that the administration and advocates for health care reform do not use the many possible emotional appeals that would be available. Any thoughts on this?

[tips] Greetings all!
Tipsters- Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of this merry band of psychology professors (including all adjuncts, instructors, lecturers, assistants, associates, clinicians, grad students, etc.) We are a diverse group, no? :) Take care, travel with several good books (and food!), and drive safely (and as I discovered, watch out while shoveling snow or you'll fall on your derriere!). Tim BTW- for a bit of levity, spell check derriere- but do NOT do it at work! For example, I got one site that listed all the following for synonyms- arse, behind, buns, buttocks, hind end, hindquarters, keister, nates, posterior, prat, fanny, rear end, tooshie, tush, seat, fundament, backside, bottom, rump, stern, tail end, tail, rear, bum, can, butt- and I'd add the military's six. There were others- I was trying to keep it reasonably clean! Nates? ___ Timothy O.
