I chuckled when you mentioned the disciplinary difficulties. Humanities types like to gripe about how their ideas are minimized in other fields, but then when someone from one of those fields starts to take up a humanities idea, they turn around and treat that person like a thief. It's both amusing and frustrating.

Obviously I can't truly contribute to this discussion unless you wish to discuss academic orientalism; hegemonic ideas on the cultural distinctions between European and non European symbols and imagery in art
All I want to know is why are there so darned many of ‘you’ here on this particular message board and each time you read one of my posts do you, even subconsciously, analyze the my virtual psyche?
Considering who founded this community is this CougarGuard merely an experiment?
