Like the Wizard of Oz, it is the credentials that count. I think I will be a scientist. But I suppose we should choose a research subject before we get our credentials. What do you think will draw grants nowadays?Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-78933735028694269752011-09-26T23:01:25.581-06:002011-09-26T23:01:25.581-06:00@Sue - You can always google in a new window if yo...@Sue - You can always google in a new window if you want to. :) Just keep my blog open in the background. I'm so glad you have decided to start coming around again. I'm not sure you can survive long enough for us to make money. What do you want to advocate? Wikipedia says think tanks have to advocate something.<br /><br />@Stephanie Barr - What did you think it meant? That sounds more interesting. :) Id on't know what I thought it meant. I had just glossed over it all these years when I read it. I thought a bunch of eggheads at a university or something like that. I had no idea they got paid to think about things. Grants. Sad that most of us don't have the credentials to be taken seriously like college professors (well, some of us do) and cabinet members.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-82576176594776974762011-09-26T22:55:59.315-06:002011-09-26T22:55:59.315-06:00@A. - I googled it after the post.

Doesn't have to be progressive like I said in the post. We aren't a think tank here though on this blog because we can never agree on anything. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-73720215140838752082011-09-26T11:48:30.329-06:002011-09-26T11:48:30.329-06:00I had to look it up (Wikipedia).
