I think it's funny that it was among the first things I picked up about goings-on after about 3-4 weeks of not watching TV. I feel so in-the-know despite my absense.<BR/><BR/>The access-to-maps part was insane. I agree with the opinion that she mixed up a bunch of prepped responses. But that's no excuse.

In the Top Ten of all time advice, is this little nugget about what to tell your witness as you prep them. <BR/>1) LISTEN to the question.<BR/>2) Answer the question. (Witness are told to answer only the question, but that might not work in normal life.)<BR/>3)"I don't know" is an answer. <BR/><BR/>I think she didn't listen to the question and then freaked and tried to tie a bunch of things she'd been prepped on into the question. Support the troops, help Africa, don't kick puppies, etc. <BR/><BR/>Brock20Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1315902474326422362007-08-28T16:38:00.000-04:002007-08-28T16:38:00.000-04:00Yes, blame it on people not having access to maps....Yes, blame it on people not having access to maps. The analogies are to the idea that "digital inequalities" in the US is primarily about some people not having "access" to computers and inequalities in health outcomes in the US being primarily about some people not having access to providers. Which, in the latter two cases, isn't to deny the existence of either, but it doesn't go nearly so far toward understanding the reasons for the pertinent inequalities as some people suggest. It contributes to sociology's broader fetishization of the concept of "constraints."jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755662766163119607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-2522552633895995852007-08-28T16:33:00.000-04:002007-08-28T16:33:00.000-04:00...the coherent part of her answer...I've watched ......the coherent part of her answer...<BR/><BR/>I've watched this three times now and I fail to ID the coherent part.
