And now a pronounciation guide that people without a Master's degree in English can understand:

i-lek-troh-en-SEF-uh-luh-graf

Regarding the article, this is a very interesting study, and it actually isn't very surprising once I think about it.  I've always sort of got the sense that there's a fundamental difference between how people of different political persuasions approach issues.  If that wasn't the case, and if there was no such fundamental difference, people would eventually be able to agree on an issue with enough debate.

ee-lek-troh-en-SEF-oh-loh-graf

I looked it up, and every single dictionary I found disagreed with that pronunciation.

The discussion is a study of the brain, not a study of yourself.

Can Vorlon come back and tell  us what the margin of error is on a study with 43 subjects?

Obviously more research is necessary, but as I said this pretty much jives with what I've thought all along, which is why I'm not contesting it very strongly.
