Out of control?

On Talk of the Nation: Science Friday that airs on NPR, they discussed a study about people who feel out of control. Since I daily feel somewhat out of control, especially on fussy days, I found the conversation interesting and wanted to pass it on. Apparently, people who feel out of control see connections where there are none, make up conspiracy theories or engage in odd behavior. Thus they have control over something in their lives. I felt much better when I realized that I don't see conspiracy theories. It make me wonder about how I really like to do laundry and get it folded. But surely, that couldn't be obessive. Here is the link. Now, I must go put in a load of laundry and get the other loads folded. ;)
