Dear individual,

Are you alright? Sounds like you might be off your medication.

Sociology is not a vocation, it's a scholarly pursuit. One does not equate what sociologists do with money. Sociologists do sociology for themselves.

You and the others on OLO are fixated on the fact that you all come from the trades viz engineering, law, etc., where the principal interest is in making money from work or business.

Mr Opinion,
Let me put it another way. What positives/benefits do Sociologists contribute to society ?
Are they different to the social engineers of the past decades ?

This is NOT about cotton.

I just spotted this on page 1 by Aidan. So, were we to stop supplying water to the Cotton farms, would the river still be running low ?

It as dry in 1901 individual, & many times before & since. It is only full today because of the work done by European settlers in building dams, weirs & locks to control what water we have, to make it navigable when it was the main inland goods highway.
