You are right Paul , there are still more sociologists who think the same
as Giddens and influence common mortals
BUT
to whom do you REALLY address this message ?
If the public opinion in U.K. is still 40% pro war , I am afraid that
the European- Sociologist list is more than that. If you don't agree
let's make a poll and vote for stoping or continuing this stupid war.
But I have to stop now , not to fill the mailboxes of our scientific
