This is problematic. Of course race is a horribly artifical category, but it exists in the social world to this day. Race is a classification which moreover has no determinate boundaries (Think of the 'one drop rule' among other things) but instead is constantly deployed in arbitrary fashion...

This is almost difficult to watch, Chomsky's so stiff.

I've been an achewood fan for a while now. It is so unbelievably good. The GOF was hella epic, and the fact that Onstad does blogs for all his characters is the extra step that pushes it far beyond anything else I've ever read.

There is of course a difference, however, between recognizing that race 'does not exist' and acting as if it were not a social problematic. The socially constructed does indeed have existence, but only as a re-presentational excess. I would say not that race is an artifact of the racist's...

Funny, this is the exact same thing a professor of mine was saying no less than a week ago... I have little opinion of Rand, besides the fact that everyone I haven't been able to take seriously anyone who takes her seriously.

It's as if you were becoming Americans or something....

Secret Honor. What an awesome film!

This discussion has been damn-near insightful. PS. I apologize for my perpetual motion machine.

Thanks so much!

better to torrent it. Google video is terrible for downloading

Oh I remember this guy... Note that he was a former stuntman for Star Trek among others...

I think there's very little I disagree with in this post. My general point regarding the conspiracy theories was related more to conviction, or perhaps better, convinc-tion. The point is not that every elaborate theory, and every theory which runs counter to "common sense" (a horrible thing...

thanks for trying does anyone else maybe have this?!

Be realistic, apologize for the impossible! I'm sorry I made a square circle in art class in primary school. On reflection it was wrong of me.

I do think that there is a balance to be struck between arguments over what happened here or there and recognizing the truth of a situation. I don't want to seem like I'm saying "oh just blame it on the structures." I think that's a vulgar position that only promotes inaction (system's too...

I might owe an apology for that slogan...But well worth it!

Nice, Much obliged

Institutional, structural, and ideological causes are the most important factors I think. We have to insist on the universality of our political demands. On the one hand (and this is relatively less important) by focusing blame on one group/organization/institution, even if we can "prove"...
