Lighter, perhaps I should have made myself more clear. When I say deconstruct I mean Foucault, not Derrida. I am a critic and an historian, not a nihilist. You can't just derive any meaning you please. Subtext must be grounded in factual history and one must temper speculation to that end. Don't be such a relativist. One cannot even arrive at one's own point of view by being an extreme relativist.

Steve, I will certainly take your suggestion, but I respectfully disagree it was not the end. It was just the beginning...
