yeah they're sooo post-structuralist now. all you ever hear from kids these days is "there is no author, there is no author".

It's my site and I know what kind of environment I want it to be
and i'm happy with that and the results its produced so far

yes didn't seem hellish to me, but it wouldn't be the first time i'd missed something.
on the issue of dippy relativism and pomo ethics, it always makes me laugh how those desperate to see themselves as hyper-tolerant (old) liberal don't seem to realise that the neocons have long since subverted that position to justify laissez faire freemarketism. -
hey that's just because, we're, like, really narrow minded, you know, yeah. everything is like, relative, man. yeah.

yeah the colonial post sucks. i prefer email.
i think the old chestnut of 'it was post-colonialism what dunnit' has been thrashed worse than many misapplied excuses for all manner of ills and consequently most people who have heard it enough are rightly put off. chalk one more up for the power of widescale misapplication of an idea to render it useless in applications it could actually be useful.
but having said that i think there are indeed many many instances where colonial legacies really are the root of a lot of horrendous contemporary problems.
similarly, many horrendous scholastic, artistic, culinary and sartorial delusions can be attributed to deconstructionism - although its proponents are rarely as fun loving and levitous as post-colonial disaster writers.

as long as you have a country with straight lines on its national borders there will be post-colonial internal trouble.
