Put that together with (1) educational statistics for minority students in America and Europe and (2) the increasing gap between those who work for a living and those on the goverment dole, and wer're treading into some very swampy territory.

It is marked for deletion because "no tenure, no publication, nothing at all - just a newly minted polsci PhD." From what little I have read of his paper, I think he has a fundamental misunderstanding of G.E. Moore's philosophy which is unfortunate since he has spent most of his time trying to refute Moore's philosophy. (His paper was called "Who's Afraid of the Naturalistic Fallacy?" to which I would reply, "you should be.") I suspect it wasn't a gag, so much as this is a young man enchanted with his newly found voice and thrilled to be given money in order to write up his science fiction fantasies.

One has to wonder whether it (the study) was a gag. That seemed to be the question the article was asking. One has to wonder whether it (the study) was a gag.
