We all need our smug moments. Corruption is, afterall, a very human hobby.

but he says the same thing over and over... i mean discipline and punish was just not interesting to me.

ok, maybe he doesn't always. but i read most of his books already and i kinda got the point. perhaps the pleasure is in the ride and not the point? but i don't know... after all, how can the point be beside the point and yet be itself?

Haha, sucks to be you, Foucault.

Most of the Foucault fans I know are smug shitfaces, and Foucault's own airy-fairy circuitousness pisses me off more than it pleases me... so I am vaguely enjoying this.
