yeah, you know i cant make anything of the op claim without a link to the study. without being able to look at the data, claims deriving from it mean nothing.
on the other hand, alot of american apparently believe that capitalism is rational, so there is obviously no real absurdity filter at work out there.
all this means is that i am predisposed to cynicism when it comes to statements about "americans" in general--but this only serves to emphasize the need for access to the poll and its data. stuff like the geographical distribution of the sample would be nice, dont you think? the methodology would be nice to see as well.
i wont go from there to posing questions of why it is that a claim like this presented without any information can without problems be posted in the philosophy forum. i dont have anything nice to say about that. so far as i am concerned, this has fuck all to do with philosophy and unless there is information about the poll posted, i'd rather see it moved to nonsense or vaporized altogether.
