A Theoretical Solution ?

I am in the midst of a dilemma. I just read something about the benefits of exercise, and I am in a quandary, “How much of what I read should be passed on to liberals?” At this point I think it is reasonable to assume that just about everyone knows that exercise is good for everybody’s health. Perhaps merely for review I should list some of the known physical benefits of exercise:

 -Helps control weight

-Lessens the risk of heart disease

-Helps manage blood sugar and insulin levels

-Helps to stop smoking 

-Strengthens bone and muscle

-Helps to prevent falls
All of these physical benefits are good for everybody, but let’s think about this in a theoretical, and mostly in a tongue-in-cheek way. If we encourage liberals to exercise, are we not, in essence prolonging their ability to vote for liberal candidates? Before you gasp and think that I am an insensitive s.o.b., let’s hear the rest of the story. What I read this morning concerned the benefit of exercise in preventing cognitive decline. Moreover, exercising can not only prevent cognitive decline, but also “change brain structure, and improve its functioning.” Think about this for a second (mainly in a theoretical, and mostly tongue-in-cheek way): One of the main differences between a liberal and a conservative is that for the most part, a liberal’s views and opinions are mostly based on emotion. Take Medicare For All as an example – “everyone should have health care and so the benevolent kind thing to do is to give it to everyone for free.” In the other corner we have the conservatives whose views and opinions are mostly based on logic. “While Medicare For All is theoretically possible, in a practical sense, the cost would be so exorbitant that it would be impossible.”

These differing viewpoints and ways of thinking are miles apart, and thus the quandary. From a conservative point of view, perhaps a theoretical solution: Should we be encouraging liberals to exercise in order to “change brain structure and improve brain functioning!” Should we be offering liberals discounts at the myriad of health clubs: For example at 24Hour Fitness: – $50 per month . . . for conservatives; $25 per month . . . for liberals!!

Think about it, but don’t get too emotional as it is only a theoretical solution!
