GrandmasterP Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Quite funny that this expensive research was undertaken at that 'nabobs' bastion of 'blue blood' privilege Princeton though. They could have just stood outside Walmart with a clipboard and asked a few regular folks. Same conclusions, far cheaper data capture. Wherever any of us live we are 'governed' by a self perpetuating political elite of whatever stamp. An elite furthermore that cares not a jot for anything beyond ensuring its own continuing power and privilege all paid for by the sweat of the taxpayers.

But if you do it as academic research, at a bastion of higher learning, you get more grant money. And you get to publish it in an academic journal and go to luncheons and stuff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
