Point-by-point addressing of discrete elements of a complex argument is both useful and sensible. In any case, assuming that you're pointing the finger at me, let me mention that I'm not a deconstructionist, I am a surrealist given the opportunity. However, this thread does not lend itself well to surrealism, though at times it seems that dadaism might be an appropriate response to the government's lack of action on border control. The only element of genuine Surrealism in this thread is the Sierra Club's willful failure to address the fact of massive immigration as a core concern in its environmental activism. However, surrealism is only genuinely Surrealism when it's done by design, which in the case of the Sierra Club's disconnect from activism in reducing overwhelming massive immigration, appears to be more of a case of some sort of insanity rather than an intentional product of art. -- Be kind to your neighbors, even though they be transgenic chimerae.
