Are Liberals More Insane Than Everyone Else?

It's hard to accept that for the rest of my life I will not be represented by a senator or president. It's also hard to accept that "global warming" is dividing us, and due to the difficulty of dis-proving it, will probably not go away. Already my friends (intelligent! nice!) are making life-altering decisions such as taking the bus to work to "do something for the earth." I can only think it's the decline of (a) religion ["do something for Africa"?]; (b) patriotism [save string in time of war]; and/or (c) capitalist values [I need my car to get around, to do my work, to advance my career]. Even the convenience of parenting is losing out, though I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of the car and driving. I love mass transit, where it's in place already and works (eg. New York). Even in Chicago it's of marginal value to the visitor, there's is a commuter system.
Liberals are not insane, of course, any more than one could say a fundamentalist Christian (Four Horsmen of the Apocalypse..anyone? anyone at all?) is insane. People live as Taleb ("The Black Swan") says in their own Platonicity--the mental map of the world as they see it. Some see Apocalypse, some see Global Warming, some see I want my kid to get into M.I.T. (or in my case)--how come the world can't appreciate how brilliant I am. LOL.
