Tim posts: "Like you, I too react rebelliously if "i feel I'm being presented with a set of Authorities, the knowledge of whom, the ownership of access to, is a prerequisite for being seriously entertained in discussion" Its a woeful old wheeze citing these specialities - Bigshot this and Fatcigar that-so what remains? How to dis-invest these textual propertarian positions and still ransack amongst the ruins for context,thought,muse,applicability, Now that History is dead and America is a Floridian deckchair the questions persist-offering "serious entertainment".. Where are the borders between the "already" and the "not yet"? Between the political and the non-political? Why is there something rather than nothing? Is what is being said able to be heard? Are there presumptions and if so who/what is being served? How may I understand what you mean without a context of use? Is the sentence superior to the word? Is a linguistic structure universal? Does a banana have a middle name? What is metaphysics? What kind of taking is learning? What calls for thinking? Is it time? KiwiWil %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
