I've come to the conclusion that I might be a better fit in terms of a sociological orientation and an eye towards privileging theory as the substantive basis formal measures are based on, in Europe rather than America.  But I know that doing my doctoral work in Europe would make it nearly impossible to come home.  So that means emigration.  And I'm not ready to do that.

So I fight my fights here.
