John - I won't quote your whole post, but it was great! Just what I need to get my mind working in holiday period (I can't believe you Americans have to go back to work or school on the 1st of January!) once I've digested it all I'll respond. P.S. If Derrida has Baudrillard's phone number I'd be happy to learn a bit of French to talk with him!
