ie "talk is cheap" ?
Sorry, couldn't pass that up.
Say, just what is the subscription rate for Sokal Test... er, I mean Social Text?
P.S. By way of deconstructing the talk/action dichotomy:
1. When someone in authority issues a command, that's talk. It's also action.
1a. Be careful what you say in the presence of a voice-activated system.
2. A credible threat of action is sometimes enough, as we saw in the Cold War. We'll see what effect all that firepower in the Persian Gulf has. (It's going to have an effect, and the end result will be regime change. The question is: by what chain of events precisely?)
3. "In the beginning was the Word."
