that does not bode well for your career prospects. they'll vote for "one" (and each other) when it comes time to elect people for posts that pay good money. in any case, enjoy the freedom you can get from wherever you are.

by the way, have you read don de lillo's "white noise"? a brilliant book, thought some of it might come across as a bit dated. the main character however is as current as ever -- a professor of hitler studies who can't read german.
