……………….....reading Martin Gurri's new book, The Revolt Of The Public:  And The Crisis Of Authority In The New Millennium.


From page 1:


"Should anyone care about this tangle of bizarre connections?  Only if you care how you are governed:   the story I am about to tell concerns above all a crisis of that monstrous messianic machine, the modern government."


"The moment tomorrow no longer resembles yesterday, we are startled and confused.  The compass cracks, by which we navigate.   We are lost at sea."
