Quote:

“A Friend’s meeting, however silent, is at the very lowest a witness that
worship is something other and deeper than words, and that it is to the
unseen and eternal things that we desire to give the first place in our

Foucault (1976:252-3)

        “What we are dealing with in this new technology of power is not exactly society (or at least not the social body, as defined by the jurists), nor is it the individual body. It

We all know our political system is “broken” — but what if that’s not true? Some say the Republicans and Democrats constitute a wildly successful industry that has colluded to kill off competition, stifle reform, and drive the country apart. So what are you going to do about it?
