Unless you understand the "theoretical maneuvers of a free agent" you won't have a basis from which to promote change. History is chiefly irrelevant - we need to look forward.

Projection, anyone? I don't idolize anyone, and I like my cocksuckers German, fyi. I think Foucault had interesting ideas that also have practical implications concerning medicine and institutional management. You, on the other hand, are a huge fag with delusions of intellectual grandeur.

You don't idolize anyone? Your s/n is fucking derrida. DERRIDA. Clearly you fail to understand the self-referential sarcasm I carry in some of my posts. And where did I ever say I disagreed with all of Foucault's points?
