And you evidently don't respond to critiques of your positions, Andrew!

Economists can spend their whole professional life talking about 
factors of production without any clarity about what capital is. 
Seems that something similar happens with our sociological experts

Dialectics should be difficult; actual argument and critique are 
supposed to be difficult. So thank you.  Are you more comfortable in 
shouting matches with or lecturing to people with no knowledge of 
what you speak?
