Hey: I have been writing on this subject for a while now...or should I say ranting and raving? Will I really discuss "blurring the lines"? Hmmm.....maybe yes, maybe no....I was kind of hoping to offer some clarity, actually...but that might be too much to hope for. I was thinking of trying to blurt the whole thing out in one breath....but its 7 pages so far...call the paramedics!
I do promise to discuss toilet bowls. I do use the phrase "dialectical other". Consider yourself warned!
Here's a pretty picture to entertain you. I think it explains pretty much everything....
