Advocate ... Lakoff clearly talks about shortcoming of assuming rational action ... free market theory make many assumptions which aren't always true, and this is why in reality pure free market / unregulated free market often leads to great disparities in wealth ... which undermines your assertion of bringing prosperity to all.

Although Advocate1234 doesn't seem to be a model of rational skepticism, I'm also interested to know how strong the empirical underpinnings are to Lakoff's "strict father nuturing mother" theory.

When I read his books I read that people live with BOTH types of family structures in their lives. At times one side may be more prevalent, but we ARE familiar with both. Our country has gone through periods of both. The "We are right everybody else must obey us". And The "We Must help you all realize your true capacity". As for an idea out of the air, well that's where ideas are. The point is does his idea fit the circumstance.
