lol--even a sorta bad movie gets in a good line every now and then. i can't remember the last time i saw that movie, yet that line has stuck with me...it encapsulates so much. theory, politics, psychology...
ahh, the social construction of knowledge. yes, i agree with you about that--thinking through conversation, liking this venue because it's social. i'm not always sure that what i put into my LJ will hold up to scrutiny, but maybe i'm confident that i can *handle* any scrutiny. i appreciate your point at the end. i'm definitely a harsh self-critic, and i never thought about the fact that "the public" (or...the 5 or 6 people who read my journal, anyway) would be less harsh on me than i am on myself. that's really interesting to think about, actually...
the only thing i have wondered about, while reading your journal, is why you use some peoples' real names. i guess if they're ok with that... i'm just uncomfortable doing that, myself.
