as for the quoting scripture part, no I am not just stating the fact that 
the european educational system that operates before higher education 
provides an education in philosophy, literature and economics, however 
"segregated" it may be, which I don't think is bad or elistist in the 
slightest-which is not at all a bad thing, is completely absent from the US 
educational system.  Again at the sake being repeatitive, you are operating 
completely under the illusion of theoretical reason which is completely 
antithetical to the logic of practice.  More precisely in positing  a 
platonic realm of the ideal to say that the prof or student in hamburg, 
paris and iowa city are in some way the same is to negate the social, which 
is obviously anti-sociological, but also to claim for language and 
textuality a status which belongs...hummm I don't know where
