I'm responding to an earlier posting by Soren, the Sorry, who trashed  
American liberationism.  Just remember the Dane-geld, buddy.  Old Professeur 
J. J. (Jules & Jim) Baudrillard would be cooking on Das Boot instead of 
sitting at the Sorbonne critiquing media if it hadn't been for American (and 
Russian) liberationism. 

We just need another hero; we just need  to know the way home.    

Baudrillard is so great.  He's the only philosopher you don't really have to 
read to comment on.  Don't get mad--I have his book-- by Douglas Kellner.

My archeangels, able to assume any screenname at will, even yours, ruthlessly 
correct Platonic men of silver, Spartan Women, of all nations.   Clipping 
flight feathers sometimes works, however.  BLAM! BLAM! Wring their long necks 
like dead swans. Honk if you love Holy War!

Hollywood maximizes profits by selling to both sides.  The basic story that 
appeals to me sells in Muscat, Benares, and Brasilia.  One World, a thousand 
points of Jihad, unified field theory, Jungian archetypes uber archeangels.  
But the Flyboys work from a hidden file, patiently turning off HAL, one byte 
at a time. It takes two of them to pinion a true Valkyrie, though, left AND 
right hand of God.
  
LOL-->Have a nice day. : )
