How are things, David? I know that I have not checked in with you in a while.

All is well in Madison...doing my scholarly thing.

I have taken political quizzes like this before, and my results were what they usually are.

At 88% Socially Permissive and 89% Economically Permissive, I am a Libertarian, bordering on Anarchist. (which is how I would broadly describe my politics anyway).

As celebrities go, I was between Thomas Jefferson and the Unabomber (interesting choice, the last one).

I see that you are reading Discipline and Punish. I find Foucault's arguments intriguing, but I think he overplays the coercive power of the early modern state. Modern states are MUCH more powerful. Just a thought.
