I'm just kinda busy right now is all (and was about to go to bed when I read this)...I should be less so soon.
I used to think I just didn't know enough to make a decision to believe in something, and maybe that's still true, but Jason recently said he would be very surprised if I ever believed anything like that, couldn't see me taking up the cause of communism or democracy or anything else, at least not without a lot of qualifications. Still, a lot of anarchists seem to see themselves as believers in 'true democracy.' Not that I'm an anarchist, by any means (and I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote my last comment...goddamn Danial Quinn and his Socratic dialogues), but I don't think what political leanings I have could be considered undemocratic. I don't mean I think you should condemn me or whatever, I'm just saying it's not a bad thing to talk about, and I'm not afraid of disagreement or actually being wrong...
But I thought you just had good news? Hm... Why aren't you settled?
