Jeez, Ed, that could appear incriminating if someone were to take it
out of context. Not that anyone would.

You're really on a roll in this thread. Maybe you should invite
Marie to stick around. It'd take some of the pressure off Gunner and
maybe some a that there culture would rub off on the rest of us.

Well, the culture part is easy. When someone does a deconstruction or other
post-modernist critique of literature, you can count on their concluduing
two things: First, the author did not say what he thinks he said. Second, if
the author is a white male, the true meaning of the writing involves
suppression of minorities and/or women.

It's easy if you keep those two things in mind.


Congratulations! You have just qualified for a Ph.D. in Contemporary
Literary Analysis, and possibly an J.D.

Either requires an ability to conclude a writer did not write what he
wrote, but what the critic thinks he wrote, and certainly did not write
what he meant, but what the critic thinks he must have meant.
