Sure, but what would be post-liberal about changing all that around? I mean,
how strictly are we using the word "liberal"? I suppose you're right...we
have to use it pretty strictly to avoid getting co-opted by people like
Rorty. I get disgusted by what I read in the newspaper all the time...I
guess I just never make the conscious association of what I see with
liberalism.

Thanks for correcting that unthought - kind of a significant and
embarrassing one, at that
