The Quality of Data
We live in a world filled with data – but a lot of the presentations are slanted. Sometimes the slant is political, sometimes the slant is a bizarre sense of humor. I like Wikipedia – but I don’t rely…
Journalists Who Don’t Ride Horses
I looked at photos of a mounted border troll whipping a fleeing Haitian immigrant – or at least that’s what the message said. The description matched an Orc, right out of Mordor. The agent swung his whip menacingly, charging his horse toward the men in the river who were trying to return to an encampment under the international bridge in Del Rio after buying food and water in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico.” The picture I saw showed reins as the border patrol officer had grabbed the Haitian by the back of his shirt. Now I’m along the northern border, so I…
Quasi-Experimental Research and Old Ammo
Ammoland has an article that shows what we term “quasi-experimental” research at ammoland.com. As a sociologist – studying people in groups – using experimental methodology has some ethical drawbacks. So we’re probably more likely than most to look for situations that allow some of the inferences we can make without well designed, well controlled experiments.

A Reminder of My Best Week of Work
I let the little dogs out and heard an elk bugling in the distance. At first I thought “This is too early.” but as the sound continued, my mind went back over 30 years, to the finest week of work I have ever enjoyed. It was in the late 80’s, and I was working for Cadastral – and the task was to relocate and mark the survey monuments on the mining claims in the ten lakes basin. It was a simple job, with notes from 75 years before (or more) copied, ready to be retraced with a hand-held compass -…
