Yes!

Keep this stream of responses coming, Y'all. This is creating a fascinating read in terms of relations conceived as argumentation and discourse--in the moment. I'm really intrigued waiting to hear more from you on what your take is, and what is going on with this Didion article. Thank you for stepping up and going to bat, as it were, on this issue and (what I think of, and as Kristin has mentioned below) on the fine research work Didion has done. Let's talk in class tomorrow about whether we want to email our blog url to Didion and NYRB (the publication of the article) as a way of letting the writer and the publication know how much we had to say and in all, appreciate the hard work of research toward argument that has been done to let us as audience know about this fraught cultural phenomenon, the Schiavo case and the "problematic" (I use quote marks here so to mark the moment in class today when I clarified and more accurately defined this overused term for our purposes) of its (inadequate) media coverage.

& Oh Hey--did I say yet how much you all rock?--well if I did not yet say so, then let me give a few indications now:

Y'all do Rock. You've formed a discourse community, and it has a lot of buzz.
That's a very good thing, in my estimation...

Keep on this thread... it's got a lot of potential as a dialectic--I'm really glad to see this dialectic pick up speed with your applications of argumentative energy.

My Best to Y'all,

Dr. Murray
