title: Interesting Atlantic Monthly Article
---

<p>
The comments on <a href="http://www.slashdot.org">Slashdot</a> are
usually terrible, but occasionally there are incredibly insightful
comments or links.  Case in point: <a
href="http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/97dec/democ.htm">this
essay</a> linked by <a href="http://slashdot.org/~jACL/">jACL</a>.
Titled <i>"Was Democracy Just a Moment"</i> and written by <a
href="http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/97dec/democ.htm#Kaplan">Robert
D. Kaplan</a>, the essay covers democracy, economic stability, globalism,
regimes, and more.  I used to "borrow" my stepmom's issues of Atlantic
Monthy and read them cover to cover; this article just inspired me
to <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/subscribe1">get my own
subscription</a>.

On a completely unrelated note, I stumbled across <a

interesting articles by
