Re: bad poetry?

This afternoon, Luke writes about:

"the objective truth of what a quote means or what a speaker is saying"

as "distinct" from:

"political motives in interpretation."

He also writes about:

"the objective content of the arguments at hand"

as opposed to:

"the subjective interpretations of those arguments that the speakers might
have."

He also mentions:

"Politically-motivated interpretation..."

And implies that there other, more harmonious sorts of "debate structures"
that are somehow, I suppose, not political, not about power, not enmeshed in
rhetorics of desire, but harmonious because they are objective and denote a
"common human experience."

I want to live in Luke's world.

All the best,

--John
