Word Choice

I'm just wondering why someone hasn't commented on this sentence: "In the past, Bell thought sociology was gay." I find this sentence offensive.

--"At the time, Bell was attacked by politically critics, left-wing and otherwise" Does the author mean that Bell was attacked politically by critics, or that he was attacked by political critics? Gasparotto 16:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Failed Prediction?

It says he failed to predict mass unemployment. Is unemployment actually higher in the post-industrial vs industrial era? I am not aware of anything showing that to be the case.

Picture

Is there a reason that a pathetic cartoonish looking picture is used instead of an photo that can be freely used or no picture at all?
