It seems the slander take might be spot on ... regarding the exception 
or anomaly  you are going to have to help me a little. I just finished 
The Savage Anomaly and think as always I need to read it again. I took 
on hardt's thesis which has helped it sink in a bit. But from my reading 
of the state  of exception is that what is revealed in a way is "bare 
law" stripped of its transcendental trappings. I just  packed the 
excerpts from the book translated by anthony's gang so its a little hard 
to go back to it just now (and the server wont let me access it online 
at the moment) ... but try and help me what you are geting at here vis a 
vis exception compared with anomaly.
