Zizek/ Wikileaks

[bandwraith at aol.com]

I heartily agree! But when it comes to Mind, methinks,
normal and abnormal are not mutually exclusive, and
here, in the land of the excluded middle, that can be a
hard swallow.

So, all privacy being local, in order for Shame to work
its effect, the society "within" must be addressed,
before "it" puts on its clothes to face the society
without, to keep from excluding anyone without a
thought... is what I think I'm saying.

Yes Doctor, "the privacy is political", as people used to say in the 
1960s.

But does it have to be an either/or?

There are different levels of reality to work on.

And Zizek, whom someone once called in a review "Lacan's representative
on Earth",
does certainly care about the decor of that office in the frontal lobe.
Me too.

But it's irresponsible to let the poor people die without even giving a
thought ...
