i did an english degree and never really "got" derida's idea of deconstruction.

i have a nebulous idea of it being analysis of contructs and removing them or something, but frankly i just spent a couple of minutes looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconstruction and it was doing my head in a bit and i just thought "i'd rather read some smart people on DiS talking about it and occassionally butting in" because i'm even lazier now (intellectually) than i was at uni
