A. For an introductory course, the concepts being tested are rather arcane. 3) In reverse order, Keynes believed that government could spend their way out of economic doldrums by spending. The government would spend its money to buy a service or some goods, which in turns would leave money in the hands of the sellers of those things. In turn, they would spend the largesse on other things and so on and so forth, creating a cascade of spending. Eventually, the effects of the cascade die out because all the profit someone receives is not re-spent on more consumption. Some of it is saved or lost, but the effects can last for over a year. 2) Institutions, fortunately, are composed of individuals. While they may be charged with acting as… [cont.]

Who is demonizing millions of "Rednecks" and what is their objective?
Q. Name institutional "Change" that is underway to fragment, marginalize and demean these so-called white people? And why was Native Americans unable to resist such treatment? Is it mainly about economics, religion or what? Is this what they are doing in "multi-cultural" studies? Was it necessary to "civilize" the Native Americans and now the Poor Whites, oftern referred to as "Red Necks?" Will this create a homogeneous population the ruling elite can accept? Is that what the owners and managers of schools and mainstream media require?

A. "Rednecks" as you say, are not Native Americans. Let's get tthat out of the way. As to who is demonizing them--they are doing that to themselves with their racism and religious extremism and bigotry. They are not wanted in American society. If they don't like that, they can damn well start acting like Americans.

In light of more current survey results, are scientists simply not 'anti-religion', but were raised that way?
Q. More specifically, individuals who were not raised in a religious household... would they have been 'unreligious' no matter what their profession? Scientists May Not Be Very Religious, but Science May Not Be to Blame July 3rd, 2007 Did God make scientists? Most of them don't think so. The first systematic analysis in decades to examine the religious beliefs and practices of elite academics in the sciences supports the notion that science professors at top universities are less religious than the general population, but attributes this to a number of variables that have little to do with their study of science. The 2005-07 study, "Religion Among Academic Scientists" (RAAS) was conducted by Elaine Howard Ecklund, assistant professor of… [cont.]

A. I don't find the results too surprising. As a scientist who is not religious, I'm not sure characterizing us as "anti-religion" is accurate. I think that the churches do a lot of good things, and I've often thought that someone should form a "non-religious" church, one that would do all the things that churches do (have support groups, teach moral lessons, do charitable work, sing) without bringing God into the equation. I think the whole concept of God puts a lot of scientists off. I do have serious problems with religions that preach intolerance and ignorance, though.
