good to see there are still some people left on this list. i'm curious about 
this Virilio...has he published much (books, essays?). i'm sure he has since 
many of you have seemed to have read him. i've yet to read the spirit of 
terrorism, only got a chance to look over it a bit at work. maybe i'll take 
it home tonite.
with regards to the global effects of terrorism seems to me as the entire 
background of bush's war. he seems to be trying to defend the world by 
wiping out those who he deems evil, but striking down a few sects of 
terrorists wont bring an end to much of anything, let alone setting an 
example. i guess he has to do something, but i dont see wiping out hussain 
and bin laden (and their lackeys) as bringing an end to anything, but the 
idea that america will not tolerate any who oppose them. but i dont know 
enough about politics to have a true opinion... i voted for the guy, so i 
guess it's as much my fault as it is his, however it all turns out.
   anyways, what's everyone reading these days?
   i'm starting chabon's "kavalier clay", reading john pierson's "spike, 
mike, slackers, and dykes" (indie movie stuff) and trying to work through 
some benjamin lit criticism.
   also read ecclesiastes the other nite, thanks to baudrillards "quote" in 
the beginning of S&S. and was very suprised that i hadnt done that 
before...it's short and a great piece of work, i believe acredited to king 
solomon. anyway, if you have time for a quick read, i think some of you may 
enjoy it.
   off to my corp job, which makes billions of dollars even though they cant 
seem to keep employees for more than a month. but thats the way it seems to 
be these days...
