Here's an interesting set of links.

The thing is that stress definitely makes you less smart, and in the long run it leads to dementia like Alzheimer and Parkinson.
America is a country that is currently run on fear. We fear everything. We fear AlQaeda. We fear the police. We fear government. We fear the IRS.
Funny how the people who line up behind neocons like Sarah Palin and John McCain are also demonstrably, well stupid is the only word for it. They think that we can reduce the deficit by increasing military spending. They think that we can balance the budget by getting rid of 1% of the budget that are earmarks. They think that dropping bombs is peaceful and invading foreign countries is the work of Jesus.
Do stress related intelligence reductions have anything to do with it? For society at large? Does warmongering actually effect people by making them less smart?
