This paticular meta-narrative makes me uncomfortable, Jim. The
fruit/vegetable binary is always invoked at the expense of the "root,"
in this case the excluded third voice whose silence is necessary for
the specious dialectic between fruit and vegetable to take place. I
mean, aren't these quote-unquote dialogues between the two halves of a
binary system really just monologues of two? So much illusory
self-presence masquerading as a healthy hetereoglossia? Recovering
the trace of the silenced third can only enrich our reading with the
realization that the conditions of structurality inhere not only in
the the binary itself, but in the space between binaries as well.

Come on, Matt, everyone knows the root is just the puppet of right wing
ideologues seeking to establish a ground level power base. . .
