------------------------ Ah yes, the ad hominem is the favored rhetoric of our time. The Manichean casting of the mo/pomo issue and the futile and vicious adversariality 'it' brings forth from various participants is neither modern nor postmodern, it re-presents the worst forms of authoritarianism that were prevalent in the ancient world; the polytheism/monotheism culture wars. Only now we have more complex technologies to express and carry out our hatreds. Isn't it time to leave ancient hatreds behind? Deirdre McCloskey call your office.
