The more Ayn Rand I read the more I love Karl Marx.
Indeed, but the more Karl Marx I read the more I love Michel Foucault!

Hypocrisy and Bullshit
Just in case you missed it, the operative sentence here is: “the Obama administration […] ordered the expulsion of a man who is the primary caregiver to his AIDS-afflicted spouse.”
Also, it’s raining and I missed an important meeting because of a train problem at Penn Station this morning, so I’m kind of in an ornery mood. (click)(and click for the Feb. 23 announcement)](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpofxzrdr61qasntco1_1280.jpg)

"The construction of the figure of the enemy against which liberal societies must defend themselves, is also a way of more intensely regulating, controlling and policing the citizens of these societies. The way in which the ‘war on terror’ is used to mobilize people in support of their governments, and their supposedly liberal way of life against the terrorist enemy who threatens it, shows the utility that the discourse of war has in constructing social cohesion, disciplining people and deterring dissent. There is a general ‘securitization’ and even militarization of Western societies as a result of this discourse."
