Louis, I think that Foucault would be genuinely pissed to see how things have progressed in his absence. We started as a disciplinary society, progressed into a society of control, and then regressed entirely into a panoptic society. I'm not sure what that says about us or how we deal with tragedy. ~Griffin -- Just another hacker in the City of Spies. #Foucault / PGP: 0xAE792C97 / OTR: [email protected] My posts, while frequently amusing, are not representative of the thoughts of my employer.
