I have a degree in sociology too, and cultural anthropology. That is why I have such an interest in social issues. I buy many books relating to political issues like the IRA, Middle Eastern studies, Canada's Secret Service, Guerrilla warfare, forensic psychology etc, etc. I am just trying to figure out social movement patterns and human behaviour and how society justifies its actions against its fellow man. I also read other books about the opposite like Understanding religion, Happiness, The History of Human Rights, Transforming Power etc. through all of this reading though, I still feel powerless to do anything without getting my foot in the door and actually speaking to people who matter. This is why I feel powerless and just like selling all of my books. It is like being hungry in front of a bakery window. Reading the books tells me what needs to be done. I just have nothing to do anything with.
