Quotes that Make you think

"The purpose of sociology [psychology or anthropology - really, any social science] is to enable the individual to see the everyday - the ordinary and mundane details of life - in a new way; to challenge, as it were, the perceived notions we hold of the world and the institutions and peoples that inhabit it."

- Peter Berger, Sociologist


Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it. - Anon.

Rahim Jaffer

Rahim was a a former MP who got caught driving under the influence, while the cops were searching his car they had discovered cocaine, and he was charged. The media took this as a juicy story and soon after the public knew all about it. Rahim's wife said it was an embarrassment and didn't want everyone knowing. If I were to ask Rahim a question about this event, I would ask him if he wouldn't have been drunk driving and have possession of cocaine if he had known that everyone would know about it. I would ask him if he is embarrassed, and would this embarrassment teach him a lesson, or just anger him?

    All great questions, Becky. I think what you're asking is: What was he thinking? Which would be interesting to know.
