So none of the cited results were from this particular study. Which means this is exactly what it appears to be - a spin puff piece, no doubt requested by ASU, which is getting flack for this psych prof.
It's just another lame-ass government psych grant, folks. If it has any real aspect to it, it's nothing to do with alcohol, but rather the effectiveness of various manipulative influences on college kids in such a social environment.
Can you spell measuring political indoctrination influence techniques? I thought you could.
Remember - it's for Obama's government. So the results have to appeal to Obama's government.
Think I'm paranoid? Read the news and get back to me.
With that being said, I’d definitely sign up for it.
You actually might have a point.
Socialist regimes have historically shown a tendency to stigmatize alcohol use. When people drink they are much harder to control. It puts things in perspective and provides an escape from the revolutionary fervor that “the Party” tries to inculcate within its subjects. They’d much prefer to keep alcohol as one of those “luxuries” that can only be afforded to those high ranking party members who sacrifice day in and day out for the good of the people.
I wouldn’t put it past BHO to try the same thing. Socialists in this country have always looked for excuses to increase checkpoints, lower legal BAC limits, and generally make alcohol use increasingly inconvenient and frowned upon. They’d much prefer that we plebs not have access to it at all.
