societal tolerance

Interesting article about what may predispose societies to being "controlling". Stuff like wars and natural disasters.

It occurs to me to wonder if this explains the "Bible Belt" in the US as it pretty much covers tTornado Alley & the places that get regularly hit by hurricanes.

I think this was a very interesting article. Portland, San Francisco and other liberal places do not see all that much strife from the natural disasters or war, like the US civil war. So this article makes a great deal of sense.
