What in the world does "personal structuring of interpretation of human
constructs" mean? What does it have to do with...well...anything at all?

Let me repeat a slightly fictional dialogue. I believe that it is
extremely relevant to any discussion of any so-called 'deconstructionism.'
I used this dialogue (imagine two little stick figures talking to each
other) on a direct mail postcard for some "urban cabin (tm) condominiums"
I built here in Seattle.

Dave:
You know, Don, our buyers will like our new urban cabins because
these condominiums will be distinguished by their superb dynamic spatial
continuity as well as by a component massing which proposes a
four-dimensional interplay of those precise yet amorphous elements which
are essential to the creation of an appropriate urban contextualism in
the late 20th Century.

Don:
Oh! For God's sake, David! Cut the B.S. and just tell 'em that
they're good -looking, well-built, and cheap.

Cheers,
David Sucher
