I would like Mr Shapiro to demonstrate how I don't "understand"
Baudrillard; it is also nuts to suggest -- as Mike Gane does also-- that I
"don't like Baudrillard." Anyway who actually reads my writings on him
will see that there is much I like, admire, find important and useful,
etc., and much that is off-the-wall, reactionary, and offensive. JB is
often brilliant -- albeit sometimes perverse -- as a cultural commentator
and second-rate and derivative as a wanna philosopher/metaphysician. And
football sucks....
