"Subjectivity is the discordance and incompatibility of the opposing determinations. The "negation of the negation" does not abolish the antagonism, but it is precisely what permits the subject from achieving a "full identity" - it is the mutilated form of subjectivity which achieves a minimum of possible consistency (this is what Lacan means when he talks about the subject as split). This minimal consistency is the sublime object which is constitutive for the subject - which is the precisely the ellusive object cause of desire, the lack which is constitutive of the subject as such."

I've just decided my daughter is not going to college.

I'm going to enroll her in the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), located here in D.C.
