The very purpose of this venue is to foster and develop one’s own private language –you can’t take that away from me, nor even attempt it unless you recognize your only recourse is to label me ignorant or worse; and that is not productive. It is wonderfully absurd to imagine this venue as something more than a form a wikipedia (Barbara shutters) … however this forum is no more grandiose than any other Walmart of Internet repositories … except maybe Cougarguard is a form of Target Again this thread is not about Marxism and was started by an individual who vehemently refuses to be categorized, codified or lumped into a general category so as to facilitate prosecution, so therefore I reject your attempts at narrow interpretations of Marxism vs. relativism, postmodernism etc. Perhaps I should bill for an independent studies Art Exploration class –of course at some point you will have to produce a painting or sculpture, or something before I can award credit Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone ... I better go and clean the toilets and prepare the house for guests or this Marxist/relativist/eccentric postmodernist will find a lump of coal under the tree in the morning Last edited by tooblue; 12-24-2007 at 02:52 PM. |

You do realize the doughnut is a metaphor so I suppose that makes the metaphor a fetishized commodity.

In other words, donughts and their holes are material commodities that circulate and are produced according to the dictates of capital. I'd suggest that you go with "bagel," but Marx made a few comments that aren't flattering of Jewish people and things would only get worse for you.

Now’s my opportunity to condescend … perhaps it would be wise to embrace my absurdity as a means to improve your understanding of different learning styles and improve your teaching acumen. You could explore where this exchange sits in terms of Bloom’s taxonomy learning domains. You are stuck somewhere in the knowledge and comprehension categories, I have moved beyond to the application and analysis categories hoping the both of us can arrive at synthesis and ultimately a fair and good evaluation. Just for fun … my faith started as kernels of knowledge, passed on by my parents and Primary teachers, and are ultimately owned by the conglomerate that is the LDS church. Mysteriously these kernels travel through the circuits of church culture, which provides various learning environments and activities until magically (not unlike the Austin Collie method) they form my testimony –the inward and outward expression of my faith. My testimony is fostered and expressed simultaneously. In other words my faith and testimony is the material commodity that circulates and is produced according to the dictates of the LDS Church. [At least that is what the ‘Marxists’ here on the board believe when they criticize the manner in which the gospel and church history is taught? An interesting method of examining the back and forth here, which you have ignored in favor of ‘teaching’ me that which I already ‘understand’.] And while I like Bagels, I’ll stick with doughnuts, for they are the superior metaphor. |
