Camera Rage!!

Everyone knows how I feel about cameras everywhere, but this is taking it much too far.


A man operating a state police photo radar unit was shot to death while parked in his vehicle along a stretch of a north Phoenix freeway.

I've been listening to your show for a few years, now, and have never called in for fear that I might sound like the high percentage of jackasses who frequent your show. I think you're a smart man, I had written brilliant, but I think smart is more accurate. I recognize that you use a lot of sociological terms, so I was wondering what your take is on, what I see as, a fundamental flaw of sociology. It is considered a science, but unlike biology or chemistry it is based on generalizations and relies heavily, possibly too much so, on quantitative data . The routine of a sociologist, it seems, is to make a generalization about an aspect of society and at the same time test this generalization objectively. Yet, to me, this seems impossible to do qualitatively, because if you make a generalization of some aspect, then you're already showing a bias. I very much enjoy sociology, but I have a philosophical qualm with its method. I understand that many of the generalizations tested are apparent, and I realize this qualm can probably hold form for any scientific discipline, it just seems to sour me a bit more with sociology. Have you ever questioned the roots of sociology or had thoughts similar to the ones I have? No need to reply, I'll just crawl back to my beat-off shack and throw papers while listening to you get depressed over the high number of jackasses not understanding anything you say. peace

I don't know about sociology. It sounds to me from your short description like it's a scientific method of educated guessing with regards to people. Is that about right?
No need to reply, I like my beat-off shack :)
