Below is Rep. Jim DeMint's (R-S.C.) thought on the MMM: "If people can express the problems of the day in terms of a personal tragedy, they think the solution is for us to make a law," said Rep. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). "It's a simplistic approach. It takes less thought than looking for the root of the problem or asking how our actions might impact us in the long term."
To Mr. DeMint, who owned a market research firm before going to Congress, lawmakers don't understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative research. He tells of marketing clients who would sit in on a single focus group and become convinced of changes to be made in their business. "They'd want to make decisions emotionally, but I'd always tell them they couldn't project the opinions of a few people. You had to do the statistical, quantitative research before you could formulate a plan." The article at World Magazine
