What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.

I don’t know about you, and I am not even entirely sure about myself, but I do have a very strong feeling that today Hannah Arendt is celebrating up there in heaven.

assuming for a moment that this "noble morality" is either profitable or desirable, do you really think obama could/would/does embody it ? he strikes me as, well, "still pious." or maybe just another soothsayer.
I am sort of horrified and a bit chargy about the near-future. I think Obama may usher into being a "fascism that will make us nostologic" for the old practices. Although I feel congruently, somewhat optimistic and a bit or charge for the proof of some of Agamben's and Debrod's theses--that there is only zones of indifferece between worlds and that materially this may prove evident as well.
I think the events in Greece are closer to real re-appropriation of "hope" in life within a global camp
