Problem with liberals is, they dont realize that what they sneeringly refer to as "anecdotal", is essentially a mutiple year, in-depth STUDY of the criteria. Just because some leftist university, media, or think tank doesnt have its name on it, doesnt mean it isn't valid and authentic. My study of cats is as good as any ever done.
Thinking automatically, that a "study" from a university, think tank, or someplace you would not call anecdotal, is valid, without you having the foggiest idea of what actually occured in that so-called "study", but just taking others' words, without any personal verification.....THAT is what is STUPID.
The statistics of our eyes and ears are far more reliable than any published study, many of which are agenda loaded bullcrap. Seeing is believing.
