"Commuter Center" building, in the middle of the campus - in room 217, on

elevator. There is plenty of free parking; you may ignore the
'sticker-required' signs posted in the lot. The discussions will begin at
7:00 PM Central Daylight Savings Time. Refreshments will be served.
On Monday, April 7th the discussions will cover the history and
origins of post-modernism. The roots of Post-Modernism will be uncovered

distinguished from other "isms" such as Modernism.

This seres of panel discussions is intended for anyone interested
in Post-Modernism, and is particularly well suited for anyone who
wants to know what Post-Modernis is, where it came from, and
what's it good for. If you are unfamiliar with Post-Modern thought, this

The intent is that the program will be somewhat informal and
conversational, with a question-and-answer period following each
presentation.

Potential applications? How about:
Cafe's making money of of people spewing hackneyed tripe.
Getting laid by sounding smart.
Re-hashing idiots ideas about how the world really works.
Annoying people by over-analyzing.

Yes...criminal justice..i can see the detectives over at area four now:
"Yea Bob, he IS a scumbag, but if you take post modernism, and its
practical applications into consideration, perhaps we shouldn't beat the
living piss out of this douchebag for selling crack to 9 yearolds."
Yea. Okay.

A marxist can't be anything other than a gibbering cretin anyways. Neither
can hard-core capitalists, communists, taoists, eastern-religious freaks
or any of the host of other stupid gits who are pushing their silly assed
dogma on a population of people who couldn't give a rats ass anyways.

At which point some idiot will undoubtedly make a 1/2 hour statement on
everything that is wrong with the world and skew so far off topic with
their innane diatribe that everyone will be on their cell phones to Dr.
Kevorkian making appointments.
