Noam Chomsky.  Simply because I tend to agree with most of his viewpoints and it would be a welcomed change to have someone smart enough to be a proffesor at MIT as president of the United States.

Here's an odd answer:  For recent times I would say Reagan, Clinton, and our current president Bush.\n\nFor first two for communications, and the current for raw guts.

I totally agree with Ann Coulter. She's a tough pill to swallow, but even when it came to the comments she made about the 9/11 widows, she was 100% right-on.

Plato for sure... I was just re-reading the Republic recently and admiring all over again how very well he picked an issue apart by answering every question with another question until getting to the root of it. If only we all did that!

The sociology of law is the study of everything about the law that is not its actual text. Let me explain: when most people think of law, they think of the written down rules that government makes, courts decide, and police and regulatory agencies enforce. One way of looking at law is that it is a set of rules that courts and police impose on people. This is not completely how sociologists understand it, though. What sociologists of law do is to take a broader picture of the social and political processes that surround the relationship between law and society. Some questions they have asked is: what is the function of law in society? How do laws get made and who do they benefit? Under what conditions do people obey law and when and why do they evade it? When people in social movements litigate, does it help their cause? Why do people decide to litigate and when do they resolve their conflicts in other ways? What is the role of lawyers in shaping the trajectory of disputes? What do people think law is? How does the understanding people have about law shape how they understand their rights, the actions they can take, and what their relationships to other people are? \n\nWeber, Durkheim, and Parsons (major sociologists) were all interested in understanding the relationship between law and society. Though the soc of law is a subfield of sociology, it is more foundational to the works of major theorists than many mainstream sociologists seem to recognize. \n\nIf you want to get an overview of this field, three textbooks may be helpful: *Connecting Law and Society* by Robert L. Kidder, *Law, Order, and Power* by William J. Chambliss and Robert Seidman, and *The Sociology of Law: An Introduction* by Roger Cotterrell. Also, some major articles are contained in a reader edited by Richard L. Abel called *The Law and Society Reader*. If you have access to a university library, you should check out the journals *Law and Society Review* and *Annual Review of Law and Social Science*.\n\nOther notable sociologists of law include Marc Galanter, Lauren Edelman, Robert C. Ellickson, Stewart Macaulay, Susan Silbey, Patricia Ewick, Austin Sarat, Kim Lane Scheppele, and Philip Selznick. This is an abbreviated list and is by no means comprehensive, but it should get you started.

Sociology is a great subject.  It was my minor in college (BS, Psychology, University of Houston), so I took several sociology-based classes.  I think you'll find it interesting, especially when your instructor starts to cover the various sociological theories and how they apply to your everyday life.

in my own words...\n\nunlike the other social sciences, the sociologial perspective is holistic and comparative. it helps develop the quality of mind which helps people to see what's going on in the world and what may be happening within themselves to grasp the interplay between men and society as a whole.
