This is the paper I presented at ASC, chapter 5 of my dissertation.
After much too much procrastination the rough draft is finally
finished and it's uploaded to my website. I'm sure it's in need of
revision so constructive comments, suggestions and criticisms are
welcome.
I estimate I've got about 1/3 of my library cataloged now. The rest
is still boxed up due to lack of shelf space.

What remains uncataloged: lots of fiction, RPGs, history, political
science, philosophy and miscellaneous.
LibraryThing is cool. :o)
Consumer Reports reports that hookahs are not as healthy as many people seem to think. I'm not surprised. What I find interesting and disturbing is the view about law and the state that is expressed by the CR employee's kid Daniel at the end of the article. What is this guy teaching his kid, huh? "They wouldn't make something legal if it were so unsafe." As if everything is naturally illegal by default, and it is the job of wise state'smen to choose what to make legal (allow us to do).
