Didn't Pynchon identify categorical abstractions as one of the more 
dangerous forms of logic?

Didn't Pynchon speak aobut the right and the left as two forces which 
maintained a public show and kept each other employed by thus doing?

It's interesting to see a microcosm of it here. And I'd rather talk 
about that, or Pynchon, because this is where the fascination is, not 
a small-penis'd internet fight or bad poetry posted in support of 
eradicating "bad" elements.
