What else is left to do nowadays?
It's been said before, and it's going to be said again, but the United States is completely insane. What's really interesting is how it's been insane this entire goddamn while. Sure, De Tocqueville called it, but he's French. Automagically disqualified (especially with a name like Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville)
One of the reasons (abortion politics) is the seeming lack of said politics in Australia. It's almost bizarre: Abortion regularly comes up on legislative agendas and it can make or break political careers there. Here, it gets a passing mention. Maybe. We only pay attention when somebody decides to be stupid about it. *cough* Family First *cough*
Good time have had. Baldur's Gate edges to completion. Bought myself wonderfully cheap collection of Steinbeck. Babies must go! Need to articulate differences between political and social liberterianism. Possibly add economic concerns as well. Also note: Keep away from Hitler. Keep Hitler away from everything.

De Tocqueville was a fucking sky-wizard. As was Adorno and Horkheimer.
There is a lot left to do. Most of it involves lifetimes of work for a payoff that may or may not come, based on circumstance. See: Weber.
Can you tell I love me some philosophy?
When you put it that way, I look forward to a life of toil and misery for a chance of a payoff.
That's it, I'm becoming one of the landed gentry. Servants, fetch me my monocles!
a/ ...why do you have more than one monocle? and isn't it then just...binoculars? or, maybe bi-glasses? or were you perhaps pertaining to the much-loved, but little-known, polycular system of vision?
b/ *shakes fist at mention of servants* ...you have already had them. let someone else have a turn at demanding things from those less fortunate.
