Well, I made it. Fifteen hundred miles south to Demopolis AL to escape the descending wintry weather in Red Rock. Right. It's as cold here tonight as it was when I left Red Rock a week ago. But that's ok; at least day time temps are a tad higher than those I left behind.

Once the current blustery spell passes I'll get down to business and see if I can find and seal the leaks that plagued me on those wet snowy miles on the way down.

A Theory of the State

States have a peculiar dual character. They are at the same time forms of institutionalized raiding or extortion, and utopian projects. The first certainly reflects the way states are actually experienced, by any communities that retain some degree of autonomy; the second however is how they tend to appear in the written record.
