Reflections on the Revolution in Victor

I am slowly and reluctantly realizing that I am a rather conservative Rawlsian. I find myself quoting Edmund Burke and A Theory of Justice in the same sentence (both approvingly!) and falling back on theories of the "ancient constitution" to counter contemporary democratic absolutism. All the while defending gay rights, reproductive rights and the legalization of, well, everything. Strange trip, indeed.

After this paper on constitutionalism and intergenerational justice is over I'll have to reexamine my life. But briefly, because there's a disertation to write!

... which might not soothe the angst, now that I think of it.
