i dont think the collective self-congratulations that americans like to do so much about their political system really amounts to very much--particularly if anything like what i am arguing is the case obtains--which would mean that the ideologies are obviously outmoded---but the actors working within them have no idea how to adapt. seems to me that in such a context, moving toward the center is like moving closer to the middle of a sinking ship.
institutions themselves do not mean much simply because they are made to function by human beings, and those human beings work within ideological contexts and if those contexts are dysfunctional, the institutions will not save you.
radio roachboy bringing you yet another "have a happy morning" broadcast now returns to its sham the sham and the pharoahs retrospective. this is wolly bully....
