Inappropriate response?  Very interesting.  Goes back to my abusive theory of
the hyperreal.  You redefine my intentions rather than speak to my content,
and then punish me for what you believe my intentions are.  If I submit, your
hyperreal remains intact.  Kiss my ass.

 Why not give up the whining if the real is your goal and begin working

The revolution of the everyday has already started, Gary.  And yes it is
possible to express over e-mail--I just did.  Whether my "expression" meets
any thoughtful reception here or just dies in the void remains to be seen.
