Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

Get Your Freak On! A rogue? Sounds like a Scot!
Wanting for some time to get to the lowlands for Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything, I finally slipped off the ridge. Stephen J. Dubner may have done the clever writing yet I expect Stephen Levitt did the grinding of the numbers. Stretched mind indeed. Check out their blog for even more details. I seem to recall my mother saying something like "Liars Figure and Figures Lie" yet good data gives good determination. Malcolm Gladwell says "Prepare to be dazzled." The Captain salutes these Chicago/New York outlanders.
