postintellectual modernism Very, very nice.

I cannot believe that such labels even survive in the academe. From my standpoint, anyone defining himself as post-something-else has nothing to say: all he declares is am not that named else. So, why don't you rather tell us who you actually are?

Similarly, when will the deconstructionists start constructing something?

Bullshit.

I used to milk cows. I don't do that anymore . . . I am presently enjoying my post-pharmer phaze of liphe.

I used to do boozze & pot. I don't do that anymore. I am presently enjoying my post-daze phaze of liphe.

I got lotsa shit to say.

Thanks for the ping, TQ . . . gotta run . . . marked for read. (I appreciate your work)

Tisk tisk... I am ashamed of you, TQ! Don't you know these simple things???

Let's see... entropy ALWAYS increases!!! (I read that somewhere). Deconstructing is as pure form of entropy as it gets! So... deconstrucing is infinetly easier than constructing!!! HENCE it follows that them there decons will not be constructing anytime soon... you see, it takes too much work.

Examples abound:

Russian Revolution... one hell of a deconstruction.

I just erased 10 examples... they are too monotonous.

Just look at the Palestinian conflict. It is so much easier to blow things up, rail against things... shoot 'em up, kill, destroy... the truth is that the Palestinians just don't have the courage to put their shoulder to the wheel and work. Work is take the ultimate courage, for you abandon the hope of usurping someone else's effort. For 35 years these cowards have whined and complained. Israel went in finally and gave them hospitals, universities, homes and plumbing... and what have they done with it all in the past 7 years???

... yes, you're right. Deconstruction.
