I do wonder if so many Victorians would have been at all intrigued if a ban on the tv series hadn't been put in place - everyone loves to see something when someone tells them they cant.

He wasn't saying anything bad at all about the victims. It was about the 'event' itself, I think, and how many of us couldn't get enough of it. I was glued to the TV for days. That's not 'wanting it to happen' per se, but, it is, as well. I'd need 50 pages to explain myself.<BR/><BR/>Derrida = Boring.

Well I think that's a very glib thing for him to have said but then I guess the whole event wasn't real to him anyway. I don't like speaking ill of the dead or I'd say just what a bunch of boring tossers I think him and Barthes, Derrida, and Lacan were<BR/><BR/>A couple of summers ago I read a series of historical romances, each book was about 500 pages.
