How *should* society run? What is a state? Do countries exist? Is the social contract valid?

Here is Jean Jacques Rousseau's explanation of the Social Contract:

Here is the social contract defined and demolished in under 5 minutes:

Any ideas?

There's Moshi Moshi, a small, quiet sushi place nearby.

There's La Colombe, which varies in crowdedness but it's got great coffee.

There's a place called "Irish Pub" by Walnut and 21st.

For a number of reasons I've rescheduled for a tentative date of Thursday, August 5th at 7:30 pm. Please let me know if this is a good day for you or if you prefer a different time/day. I'm pretty flexible.

Bastille Day? Why watch a "revolution" be re-enacted when you can be part of a real one? :)

Wish I could make it, but I'll be up the Delaware celebrating Bastille Day!
