but pan, you seem to be under the impression that there is something to this wright phantasm. you assume it when you talk about reversibility, as if your projected object would remain intact as it were rotated from one viewpoint to another. what you do not consider is to my mind obvious: that rotating this wright phantasm to another viewpoint dissolves it. there is no there there. there is nothing.

from this the obvious conclusion: you were predisposed to dislike obama as a signifier and you latched onto the right wright phantasm as an excuse and you are fixed on it because of the function that it serves for you. seemingly incapable to admitting of any ricketiness in the phantasm, presumably because of the functions it serves for you, you persist in trying to fashion little scenarios in the context of which you concede the status of your construct "the wright thing" in order to play the game at all.

just saying.

otto: or we *could* actually discuss issues--the empirical situation in which the united states finds itself, what candidates propose to do or not do to address them--maybe treat this pathetic election as if it were serious, as if it were about serious choices (which it is) instead of about lint moving in little circles blown one place to another by 24/7 "news" channels and the talking head class that helps it sell vital advertising to folk like you.

this is horseshit, this approach to politics.
if you take horseshit, put it on a stick, and spin it, its still horseshit.
there are no viable "partisan" disagreements about horseshit spinning on a stick--it is what it is.
there is no "herd mentality"---which is i assume a meme used to dismiss the implied criticism in all this, which can be boiled down to "this is horseshit spinning on a stick."
unless you see in the refusal to acknowledge that this is, in fact, horseshit on a stick (so it can be turned) something of a herd mentality--in which case maybe we have something to talk about.
but short of that, this is a waste of time.

i'm going to grab my hat and get up out of here.
i don't see anything good coming from staying in this place.
