OK. Assuming that the research isn't totally flaky,
you know, like something performed by the Institute
for the Confirmation of Human Venality,...
The article says that 62% of the folks behaved badly.
Now, how about a more in-depth analysis. Specifically,
what are the characteristics of those
people--personality factors, ages, ethnicities,
educational levels, religious types/fervor, etc.--who
are winnerphobic vs those who are winnerphilic.
Best, Jeff Davis

remember."
