hope that nothing i said indicated i understood you to be a bush supporter--if i did, i retract it, as it did not cross my mind either way.
what i objected to (maybe read into, i dont know) your post was extending the obvious questions of economic rationality (how one gets over in the "marketplace" of cultural goods, if one does) to prescriptions about production as such. on the other hadn, the bit about the "text of time" was obviously problematic, particularly if you are yourself going to shift into something like a sociological understanding of how cultural production is regulated (by saying that one must be authorized or made acceptable as the poster producer for matters related to dissent, for example).
later on, it got entangled with questions of "responsibility" (not from you...rather from artelevision) which pushed the matter into yet more nebulous space....
