[lit-ideas] Phatic: The Hawkish Eye of Mcevoy

Phatic can't seem to post to the list and he asked me to forward two posts for 
him.  I have nothing to do except avoid writing a Buber paper, so I figured 
what the hell.  Here we go...

************************************
the hawkish eye of mcevoy and its limits:
"'phatic' [are you Greek with a weight problem? if so, Oprah has the perfect 
thing]"

no i am french. why do you think i have this outreeegous accent, you son of a 
silly person. now go away or i shall taunt you a second timee.

"It is perhaps no surprise that where I disagree is perhaps that I think this 
topic interests me more than bothers me."

if i am to argue, i must take up the contrary position, yes.

"For example, a handle on so-called 'addictive behaviours' like alcoholism 
might provide interesting insights into other behaviours less addictive [eg. 
voting for Bush]. "

oh i thought we were talking about additive behaviour, and i didn't understand 
what that would be. 

cheers,

phatic
