“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Slavoj Zizek has been called "the most dangerous philosopher in the West". That may or may not be true. To me, however, he is certainly the most interesting, especially when it comes to explaining contemporary culture. His "Pervert's Guides" to both "Cinema" and "Ideology" are eye opening.
...and by the way, when Zizek is speaking of the "pervert's perspective", he is really speaking from the perspective of a Lacanian/Freudian Analyst in accordance with Lacan's Four Discourse Theory.

That's what they were hoping for...
He's a company man. He's not going pitch the brand of a competitor. ;)
He remembers which teat had milk in it.
...and it wasn't his alma mater.
wow. Interesting.
