[FRIAM] Rationalilzations or Causes?

[PPARYSKI at aol.com]

Fellow cohorts,
 
I certainly agree with Herr Prof. Thompson.  In my experience in  developing 
(?) third and fourth world countries, people interviewed generally  told the 
interviewer what they thought the interviewer would like to hear.   This was 
particularly true for the poor who hoped to gain something from the  process. 
Observation of what people actually do can be a more powerful tool at  times. 
Ort simply letting people tell their story as was done in the remarkable  book 
Aikenfield. 
 
Perhaps all GIS systems should include anecdotal information?
