Brian, it's as clear as Carl J. Norgard's 1987 dissertation, "Eco-Polarities In An Ever Shrinking Socio-Bio Construct Experienced At Meta-Levels" (Parts II & IV). I mean, how much more do you need to know about "social construction," esp those models that were designed in response to the Great Macro-Vacuity Scare of '92? You may be interested in "clear speaking," but those in the know understand that "clarity" is an imperialist/sexist/racist/genocidal concept favoring White Straight Male rule. In other words, the denser the text, the freer the text reader. Get with it!
