Hilarious! I’m forwarding this to the Chair of Sociology (a blogger) who will undoubtedly get a great kick out of it.

It’s fantastic. LOL

Since i am coming from economics this is my best part :
“We have not been given the credence and weight that economists lately have acquired, but we can almost match them when it comes to the failure of rigorously calculated predictions.”

It will make it to the pediment of something in my coming production for sure.

I just started studying a course in comparative sociology at university. Thanks for letting me know what I’m in for.

Ha! That was indeed good for a laugh. Thanks!

Also, the date on that passage makes me feel young.

The 80s were good for slipping in those pissed-off parenthetical comments. Everyone did it! But not everyone could build up such a head of steam before popping at the end of the paragraph. Ha!!
