er... new request Derrida "Writing and Difference"... frankly im struggling, can someone suggest a primer? introducing derrida or somesuch.

and here i was thinking he was of the Burroughs-ian persuasion.... marijuana ain't bad - the apathetic 'do-nothings' are. they would have reached that point through whatever narcotic (kapital!)... 95% of society are stoners potentially.

At the same time it can be argued that the United States will lean towards actions that protect its own interests (as does any State - entrenched or internationalist) . The examples above only serve to highlight US policy as self interest. The United States had no intention of routing the...

ah... there go my theories...

more questions arise! a) did moral relativism (and as a result political relativism) in the United States die on the 11th of September 2001? b) is Bush a dupe? there is the possibility that he does not in fact represent a new political order, but a subtle continuation of the old. I understand...

Philosophy isn't a dead subject, as k-punk has shown its structural discourse is a good way to approach these type of arguments. as for validity... well you cant make the assumption that it is valid by default. I don't understand who would though.

Nice work... but I still can't help to think that this "persepctivist-absolutist model" that Blair adopts is a convenient cynicism, to give the impression Tony believe's in the validity of his distortions. It could be taken that if this is a veneer, then it allows Blair to knowingly lie, safe in...

I think it was more of an attack on the way that the powers that be within the west (more specifically the U.K. and U.S.A) have manipulated public opinion using the terror-fear card since September 11. I think Burke made it clear that al-Qaida as a far reaching terror group bent on a consistant...

His attack on democracy is a little bit simplified, I hope it is in reference to the American system where winner does indeed take all. Proportional electoral systems tend to displace this a little, and if the U.S. had a proportional democracy, the Democrats would have had significant power to...

k-punk... I’m interested - but who lives this life of rationality? i don't think I've met one man who would make the assumption that he is a totally rational beast. isn't this male call to rationality rather just a popular shorthand for usual communicative breakdown between the sexes? something...

I was almost as scared by media agenda over here (UK) prior to election. There was little attempt to actually get to the bottom of the love of G.W., and I think a lot of people were honestly stunned by the result. You were branded a cynic if you said things would pan out the way they did. most...

I suspected that Curtis's focus was on the myth of al-Qaeda and not Islamist terrorism per se. He made little mention of primarily Arab or middle-Eastern based groups, although did say that most of those trained in Afghanistan left to pursue their own localised struggles and had no interest in...

is there a DVD release of this fantastic series planned? Better, scarier, funnier and more enlightning than Farenheit 9/11. prehaps i'm being hyperbolic, but this is the best television I have seen all year.

It seems like that most of the Western world including the East/West coasts of the U.S.A. are struggling to understand the collective&individual thought process of middle-America. I'm sure as hell confused by it. 1m more jobless under Bush economic surplus into deficit within 4 years raising...
