Well dear Richard, let me see if I can
explain this slowly enough for mortals
to understand everywhere.  We are gods
of justification, and no one can touch
us.  Your petty left justified, messed
up, ugly, jagged, and despicable right
margins can be seen as an indicator of
your incompetence and worthlessness. I
could kill you with a simple two lined
full-justified message without even an
afterthought.  Now Richard, do you see
our godliness?  Can you see the way of
the full-justificator is the right and
just way?  Now we must sing the hymns,
and bow our heads and pray.

Oops.  That last line didnt go all the
way over. Even gods can make mistakes.



Enjoy, and notice my sig is not justified (it keeps me in touch)

Hello again everyone.  The cascade crap chased me off for a while.

	If it is the "postmodern" attitude that a single consistent
theory can't be used to explain all of Nature, then I am in agreement.  Yet
I support not the usual Marxian or Nietzschean criticism of modernity.  I
take as my avatars such critics as Bastiat, Oakeshott, Kolakowski, etc.

Contrary to what a lot of people here think, postmodernism doesn't
just apply to literature.  If anything, it's more meaningful to discuss
postmodern aspects of art and architecture.

Someone here suggested alt.metamodern, why don't you go for that?


NB. Nobody is stopping anyone from posting anything.
   Posting a charter for alt.postmodern would be useful, except many
   would consider such a step Modernist and therefore pointless.  But
   then again, postmodernism is all about pointlessness, so I suppose
   someone should go for it...

i hate the file editor.

in a dark, mysterious foggy article someone writes.

something like: "...the [deconstructionists] will start wearing turtlenecks and
the girls will go back to their 100% all -american rock'n'roll boyfriends when
the movie's over..."

well, in this cosmic commerical flick what part do YOU play?  if you're
assuming that the dominant culture is primary and static, and thus thoroughly
inhibiting, you are forced to admit as a corollary that yourself inhabit and
perpetrate this celluloid nightmare tape loop as just another plastic
construct.  indeed, you just articulated quite well what might be the fondest
hope of such a culture-conspiracy: you are its agent.

either that or you're assuming that there exists a certain genotype in the
human male genome that predisposes one to wear turtlenecks. 

THAT would be reasonable.

this may be heresy to all you cascade junkies, but...

i'm going to talk about postmodernism.

what i want to know is, does anyone whose tenure doesn't ride on it really
think that all the variations on postmodern/etc theories are slightly
worthwile?  are theorists going to change the world by theorizing?  is
anyone else?  is anyone who may have time to acutally DO something the

people in my classes won't even think of mentioning this issue because
they all really, really care deeply about theory even though none of them
