goddammit i lost what i was going to post.
i say mostly #2, but #1 has some truth to it so i voted in between
i was saying it's too fashionable among "post-modern theorists" (if you believe the oxymoron) to shit on the enlightment as the ideological bedrock of colonialism/imperialism/ etc. however they are full of shit, as we've had colonies and empires under the rule of superstition.
anyway i gotta go for a bit but i hope the discussion begins...
