Skyboxification
Pardon the byzantine link, but if you click here, choose “Launch Fora Player,” then click on section four, “Philosophical Perspective of Democracy in the U.S.,” (whew) you’ll get a neat run-down of the “skyboxification” of American life from Michael Sandel, whose book Democracy’s Discontent was and still is a big deal to me. I’d never heard him talk before and it’s pretty fantastic.

He's a helluva speaker, and I thought he was going to swivel all the way out of his chair a few times. I'll definitely check out his book.
p.s. your "click here" link is broken in this post
Good catch -- thanks.
