Subject: HAB: Putting it to a Vote


Ok - before this discussion about performative contradictions 
hits the rails I want to put it to a vote.

1. How many people think it is a coherent and rational charge? 
 Post your response to the list or to me in private (in the form 
of "I agree with Habermas" or "I disagree with Habermas").  I'll 
summarize it all after 4 or 5 days.  If you want give a brief 
(very brief) reason why it makes sense or not ie. if you were 
charged with a performative contradiction would you change 
your mind, feel free to do so.  This is going out to everyone - 
esp. those who have never posted.

2.  If you agree with the strategy - please make, and include, a 
moral claim that is not performatively contradictory.

thanks,
ken
