Dear Jim Forest,
 
Thanks for another delightful post!  Personally, I think the essay is a bit harsh on deconstruction.  I don't think the deconstruction movement denies all possibility of communication or meaning  -- just the idea that there is a fixed meaning that inheres to events apart from our interpretation of them.  That a pizza is a pizza is a tower...   But perhaps I am not rightly dividing the text!  In any case  -- thanks.
