A brief word to the P list

[Michael F]

Zizek could be the Greatest of all Liberal contrarians(and he's
getting his own thread, and deserving of it).  But, then again
Enlightenment and contemporary, "rights-based" liberalism is
Contrarian by nature.  From what I've read, I don't see anything
grotesque or inappropriate.  I see the structure and foundation of
Pynchon's novels as being "contrarian".
