The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide your sources
Albert Einstein said that. Seems my students might have taken a lession from that. As I am swamped with grading essays and preparing for tomorrow's midterm (not to mention my birthday), I will leave you with one of my favorite webcomics. It is certainly how every academic feels in seminars/meetings/conventions. Enjoy!

Well, post-structuralism allows future generations to take a step back from the environment of the times and re-evaluate what might actually have been going on. With less bias, it may be a valuable strategy for historical assessment. However, that value may be tempered by the loss of perspective inherent in secondhand observation. Regardless, there's nothing you can do about post-structuralist perspective. History moves on. Sources are read, re-read, re-written, and ultimately re-structured later as a natural evolution of the media and environment it's presented in.
