[Campaigns-l] Enemies of Democracy COGITO ERGO SUM

[CH Rob J King]

neo-classical . . . THANK YOU!  As much as the post-modern literary critics (Stanley Fish) and philosophers 
 
 
 
 
 
(Wittgenstein
0) like to say that "texts" do not exist as such in the free-floating, meandering morass called post-modern thought, since language itself exists (cogito ergo sum), then texts must also exist.  Therefore, I applaud your conviction that Ingmar et al should treat writing as a neutral endeavor or to be openly polemical.  The problem with the encyclopaedic genre (a critique I draw from moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre's Gifford Lectures entitled Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry), in that a form of "neutrality" is posited, but in actuality, the neutrality is often a highly politicized, albeit cloak & dagger form of will-to-power . . . I will not knock Wikipedia itself because often it is quite good.  I will state however that Wik-campaigns is a on-line liberal enterprise that tries to claim objectivity, but in fact is highly political of a peculiar non-thinking, knee-jerk sort.  I hold liberal views (immigration, pollution control, minimum wages, etc), but the second I defend the life of babies who are being hacked to bits by abortion "doctors" (Nazi eugenists in drag!), the whole Wik-campaigns jumps on me.
 
Thank you for defending textual objectivity . . . If only the 1972 Supreme Court could have been so intelligent . . . (i.e. the supposed constitutional "right" to kill babies in utero was not even in the "text," but in the "penumbra" of the text . . . in other words, NOT ACTUALLY THERE!!!  So, post-modern tought can and does kill . . .)
 
CON CHRISTO MI SALVADOR, Rob J King (Opus Dei wannabe :-)
