    I feel entirely defeated, myself, however, in how we engage in such a practice in the face of the vacuous (and I use the word in response to both your senses of analytical categories like class being “empty” or “evacuated”) sameness of responses to and critiques of the events at Virginia Tech and the excruciating analyses of Cho Seung-Hui which (at my last investigation) were curiously silent about the ethno-political and about racism in its most obvious, bloggiest forms.
