I haven't had internet access pretty much at all for the past two
weeks, so I'm catching up on a lot, and, unfortunately, deleting a lot
as well.  I think I can find some time this weekend for a post on ch.
6 where, among other things, Butler differentiates and critiques the
ontological foundations of melancholia and mourning.

Dang, break's over . . .

Later,

Alec
