STRANGE BUT TRUE: Apropos Helen Rittelmeyer:

For the record, I object to the taboo on supposedly jargon words like "liminality" and "narrative" as much as Dara does, but I object even more to the insistence that all dialogue be oriented towards concensus rather than one side's victory or defeat.


With one exception, I have never used 'liminality' to do anything but make fun of people who incline to post-modern-speak, which seems odd for a political theorist.
