Dear Grethe,

"One of Paglias main point is that it is culture that sivilizes us...As
I see it, this is not so far from the post-strucutralist wiews that one
should assume.  Foucault shows how disipline is used to make people
behave.
Paglia thinks people should behave themselves."

Post Structuralism and this peculiar brand of humanism that you claim
Paglia espouses have absolutely nothing in common. Indeed it's rather
odd of you to make Foucault and Paglia bedfellows when I'm sure I heard
her once claiming that Foucault's work was unscholarly, lacking any
substance.
But enough...
