"One way for the powerful to maintain the status quo is to define society's dominant ideology - the set of cultural beliefs and practices that supports powerful social, economic, and political interests. From a conflict perspective, society's most powerful groups and institutions control not only wealth and property but the means of influencing people's cultural beliefs through religion, education, and the media" (Abercrombie et al, 1980, 1990; Robertson 1988).

Social Stratification in the United States
Really enjoying my sociology class. I thought the following quote from, Sociology Matters (pg 138) worth sharing.

Obama Birth Certificate FOR SALE!!!
Here's a new twist for the crazy birther's. Maybe not so crazy...lol.
"Despite national press reports to the contrary, the Hawaii state legislature has no intention of releasing Barack Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate – not even for $100.
By introducing HB1116 into the Hawaii legislature last week, five Democrats are giving the impression they are willing to make Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate available to the public for a fee.

Bad Poop!
So, for instance let's say that one of your partners is high ranking and his or her rank has afforded you with a certain amount of military special considerations. Even though I was a lower ranking military man, I was an expert at following the best orders from as high as I could get them. Hence I often ended up on exclusive details like helping out in Monterey near 17 mile Drive or, traveling with the band to Frisco to perform over the weekend. What??? Go tell Captain so, and so, to give us his new motor home???? What??? Keep the motor home over the weekend??? What?? Drive the new motor home to the show??? What?? Here's money to travel with??? What??? We can take girls???? What??? But this is another story.
I was good at picking out the best orders to follow. Such is life. We are daily bombarded with orders. Orders what to believe, how to think, how to behave, how to dress, how to talk...ect.
I was talking to a client today. As he walked in the door he rubbed his side and said, "man, my back just started hurting." I said, what happened? When did it happen? He said, "soon as I starting drinking that soda." As he rubbed his side again.
I said, "that's not your back. That's where you kidney is located." "Don't, you think it's strange that it started hurting when you started with the soda?" "What type of water do you drink?" I asked.
He said, "I don't drink no water he said." I quit drinking it after I started hanging with her." He said, nodding his head towards his girlfriend.
I said, "looks like you might have gotten a hold of some bad poop."
Listen to your spirit. Only follow orders from he who is the highest.
