But so what? Having made that pledge of allegiance, is it *now* all right for me to go on to express my reservations? (One might think of the pledges of allegiance demanded of Foucault to the revolution by Marxists, to liberal humanist values by Habermas and Rorty, to the value of knowledge by anti-relativists ... it's all a little embarrassing). Anyway, thank you for your last post, which was a thoughtful and eloquent response to a question which deserved no answer. ;) As to the mistakenly literal reading of your "satirical" post--that's the second such incident on this list in the last few months. Further proof that in this age of irony, irony is dead. Matthew ---Matthew A.
