Just a funny little addition for the day, passed along by a friend:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

"But two questions immediately arise. First, is political equality a realistic goal? Second, is it really a desirable goal?"

And yes, this is actually a book I am reading. Can anyone guess what it is or why I'm reading it?
