Does Sociology Suck*?

by Cliopatria

There are lively discussions of this question at Jeremy Freese's Weblog and Althaus.
*I am normally extraordinarily squeamish about the overuse of this verb. In sociology's case, however, it seems to get the job done. Feel free in comments to discuss: Why does sociology suck? When did sociology start sucking? Are there current practitioners of sociology who do not suck? Can sociology be unsucked? Etc.
