The common sense of university professors
Richard Gray and Michael Freeman

Nipawin - July 27, 2000 - By: Mario deSantis

common sense
I am cherishing the common sense shown by Dr. Richard Gray, agricultural economist

with the University of Saskatchewan, and Dr. Michael Freeman, trauma scientist with

the Oregon Health Services University School of Medicine.

off-farm
income
Dr. Gray has stated that the higher farm family income in recent years is a reflection of

off-farm income⁽¹⁾. Dr. Gray makes common sense and his statement is consistent

with our earlier observation that the growth of employment in Saskatchewan was not the

result of the good work of honourable Janice MacKinnon, Minister of Economic

Development, but rather an inevitable necessity for farmers to be alive while their

agricultural income is dwindling⁽²⁾.

listening
Dr. Michael Freeman is putting some common sense to the experiences of no-fault

insurance in Saskatchewan. After the questionable manipulation of statistical no-fault

numbers by Dr. David Cassidy⁽³⁾, Dr. Freeman will reestablish some integrity to our

statistical researches by listening to the stories of no-fault victims in regard to their

recovery from injuries and to the appropriateness of their rehabilitation programs⁽⁴⁾.

guiding principle of science
We commend Dr. Gray and Dr. Freeman for finally emphasizing commons sense as

a guiding principle of science and of our lives, and putting the stories of people before

statistical numbers.
