This is a little like, as my friend Bill Lloyd used to say, putting Descarte
before the horse. Lacan's point is the unconscious is not possible without
the structure of language. Koenisberg's reversal is not wrong, merely
redundant and, in my opinion, has no theoretical importance.

They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.
Constant apprehension of war has the same tendency
to render the head too large for the body. A standing military
force with an overgrown executive will not long be safe.

"America is a quarter of a billion people totally misinformed and disinformed

corrupt -- it's just beyond telling us anything that the government doesn't
want us to know."
