Antti,
     ...does Power have any interest in Truth & Justice?
or only in using the vocabulary to manipulate its body into a killing
posture?  Surely  Benda's instruction on the cardinal duty of
intellectualism to speak the truth against Power, if ever, is exigent here.
The Pentagon, in the name of God & Freedom, appears once again poised to
slouch its inexorable way to the heart of darkness.  Is this the time for
pedantic punctilio?...aren't we remiss to omit any occasion to
discountanance the imperial killing machine?...keep lit the candle of
transcendant existence? ...be it within or out habermasian theory ?
