It's time to read a little bit some works of the Frankfurt school, isn't it?

The polemique of Mr. Treanor is quite hard to stand and from my point
of
view he clearly misuses the european-sociologist discussion list for
political purposes. I agree completely with Vanessa May and her view.
Maybe Mr. Treanor should think a bit more about the distinction
between
the roles of scientists such like sociologists and the roles of
citizens. Reading Max Weber could help to get the point here. After
that
he might come back to this list and inform people about the results.
With best wishes, Heinz-Herbert Noll
