NP--Keeping Cool, But Not Caring

[davemarc]

Oh, come on "Endicott."  We all can see who you really are:  Jean
Baudrillard.

Because this is a matter of paramount importance to all subscribers on the
Pynchon list, I publicly submit the following comparison between the writing
of "Endicott" and the writing of Baudrillard.

"Endicott" writes:  "Yes, by all means, laugh it up, you stupid bourgeois
fuck."

Baudrillard writes:  "Nostalgia was nice in the way it sustained the feeling
vis-a-vis things that have taken place and could also branch out to
encompass those that could come around again. It was beautiful as a utopia,
as an inverted mirror of utopia. Beautiful in the way of never being fully
complete, like a utopia never fulfilled. The sublime reference to origin in
nostalgia is just as beautiful as the notion of the end in utopia."

I rest my case.  Now it is for the entire Pynchon list to judge.
