PROCRASTINATION

It’s 1PM, and for the past four hours I have managed to avoid writing the section of my chapter on the evolution of conservative thought from Darwin to the war. I mean, the whole world really got confused there for a while. Darwin and Marx really threw the Aristocratic world into a spin. The Louisiana purchase pretty much put an end to the small state and the constitution. Feminism, the economic fight between the north and south over the west, and the anti-slavery movement did the rest. The depressions of the 1870’s were almost as impactful to european thought as was the 30 Years War. Americans were so busy making money that they thought their temporary utopia was a permanent force of nature. (Post-Microsoft Seattle is going through that phase right now.) So, I’m doing a really good job of avoiding writing. Blogging is such a convenient distraction. :\
