I haven't read the whole thing, but any thoughtful person should find this piece enlightening. Step back from what you might think of how the world works and then consider what this person has to say, such as:

"Or take the notion of 'political correctness'. It is true that movements of conscience have piled demands onto people faster than the culture can absorb them. That is an unfortunate side-effect of social progress. Conservatism, however, twists language to make the inconvenience of conscience sound like a kind of oppression. The campaign against political correctness is thus a search-and-destroy campaign against all vestiges of conscience in society. The flamboyant nastiness of rhetors such as Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter represents the destruction of conscience as a type of liberation. They are like cultists, continually egging on their audiences to destroy their own minds by punching through one layer after another of their consciences."

Political theory is what I enjoyed so much in school.

Now that my apartment is quite clean, I thought I'd have my own little margarita toast to it. Maybe I can toast a new television. Sonya is having a party this Saturday. Will she be toasting her television? I doubt it. She'll probably be toasting her motorcycle. That is an appropriate toast if I ever heard one.
