Ok, *I'm* a sheep in a straightforward way. I'm the idiot who watched Matrix going "Wow... is that true!?!"

I hope you're right, I really do. But I know that my thoughts rarely stray from being parasitical on whatever was fed to me that day. As much as I'd like to defend the notion of autonomy... I just don't think we have it in us. If I did I suspect I'd be more of a Habermasian. Castoriadis is pretty good on autonomy... but I can't help but think that the notion of a 'monadic core' of subjectivity, which resists all heterogenous elements, is an illusion.
Does anyone have any profound thoughts on the Hollywoodism of politics? Maybe this will seep north and I'll be able to see William Shatner during the next federal election.
