"As society trends toward greater complexity, intricacy and technological sophistication in everyday life that require higher and evermore advanced education to not only cope but to further the trend, angry political aspirants advocate a return to simple mother-wit, to conventional wisdom, or to common-sense policies that average citizens can understand."This compilation of “my STUFF” (as George Carlin might have me refer to it) includes ruminations, essays and, frankly, spoofs that I wrote during the last decade of the twentieth century through the first decade of the twenty-first. Admittedly and predictably, some of the items betray my long-term affiliation with and dedication to the discipline of sociology. Throughout my career, I succeeded in ignoring Archibald MacLeishs warning not to “commit a social science,” but I did manage to heed his other caution not to “sit with statisticians.” Now, in items some of which bear an affinity to sociology, I am not above taking liberties that exceed the bounds imposed by professional sociological constraints. Thus, I commit value-judgments, I trifle with the ludicrous, and I allow myself to be opinionated!
