either you have not heard, chosen not to hear, forgot, or whatever

Since I posted last on this subject, I have been to Borders, browsed some Rorty essays, (and read a good bit of the new "Jance", Detective J.P. Beaumont is back!) I realized I had missed a point.

"PoMo" came up to start with, I believe, because it is the precursor of "Post Colonialism." These really color all of the Foreign Policy decisions, as they studied by the people who become our Foreign policy experts.

When this subject came up, I found a definition of Pomo, and posted it. You told me that this was not the definition you used. I went and found another, from a major book on the subject written by an Professor who was accepted in Academia. You informed me that definition was off too.

When I posted a response to Win and mentioned the subject, you posted that I just was not learning from you, and wanted me to read Rorty. I read some Rorty, and found him just as vague as you have been.

I believe the definitions I have posted are the accepted ones in Academia. They lead to the conclusions I have posted. I suspect you have protested because you don't like the conclusions.

The way to clear this up is for you to post your definitions, and then we will know what you mean when we talk about this subject.
