> HI Roger,
> I've read some of and heard a lot about Lakoff's book (What Conservatives
Know that Liberals Don't -- or something like that). It's a really important
book.
> The thing that maybe doesn't come out in the piece you forwarded is that
all the rules etc, come out of love. The family insists on absolute rules as
the only way of protecting the children in a dangerous world. The children
have to learn to protect themselves by discipline and unquestioning
adherance to the moral system.
> Of course, the nurturing parent model has a much more optimistic view of
the world and human nature. In their model, skills in adapting and
community-building are more highly valued.

sermon on hell. Hmmm. It may be too much for 15 minutes.
