If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

looking for something firm in a world of chaotic flux

After 9/11 the new social and patriotic conservatives see those who disagree with their view of the world as subversive. These subversives-- the intellectuals--- are diseased and their elite values are pathogens in the body politic. Their cancer is anti-Americanism, which is a mixture of envy, self-loathing and mortification has its roots in the 1960s.

Gary, It seems to me that these "patriots" have been practising the language of social exclusion over and over again every day since. A process of Pavlovian conditioning has been occurring such that the necessary scapegoat engrams have all been implanted.

And when/if things get really bad all the dreadfully sane normals will "know" who is to blame and quite readily accept that the cancer causing pathogens need to be surgically removed so that the body politic will be restored to "health".

The legislation has also been put in place and the precedents for braking/ignoring the law and constitution too--especially in the USA.

And who is to blame! You and me and all the left-liberal pinkos. The cultural "relativist" academic "elites", environmentalists and greenies,those who criticise Christianity,arty farty types,gays both male & female, any and every one of dark completion especially if they look remotely like an arab etc etc.

I would not like to be in America when/if the breakdown occurs.With its angry right wing gun toting patriots and militias who would be more than ready to do whatever it takes to "cleanse" the body politic of its cancerous pathogens.
