Larry, Sorry to have been so personally **intense** (vituperative, um, etc.), and rereading some of the messages, they were a little too individuated. I do feel, however that there is a false division between marxism and pomoism--with blame for the division falling on both sides. As someone who incorporates work of both sides, I get a little tired of defending one to the other. I have also developed that go for the juglar style from 19 years in the phone company & cwa-- blue collar/union environment. Sometimes, though, it does come in handy! maggie coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a message dated 97-09-22 12:57:01 EDT, Larry writes: >ainly have no >truck with those who dismiss arguments from any quarter.
