Les Français

I don't hate the French. Really, I don't. But I think that certain French persons are obsessed with types of theory which I -- and I think, most Anglophones -- have a lot of trouble wrapping our heads around. It's possible that some of this stuff makes sense in the original French, but in English it's gibberish. At the same time, deconstructionists (and deconstructionism has deep French roots) seemingly are more concerned with perception and description -- what we see, and what we call what we see -- than with the actual reality.
