Enough material for an album.

Save Small and Independent Publishers

Postal regulators have accepted a proposal from media giant Time Warner that would stifle small and independent publishers in America. The plan unfairly burdens smaller publishers with higher postage rates while locking in special privileges for bigger media companies.

In establishing the U.S. postal system, the nation's founders wanted to ensure that a diversity of viewpoints were available to "the whole mass of the people." Time Warner's rate increase reverses this egalitarian ideal and threatens the marketplace of ideas on which our democracy depends.

It's time stand up for independent media. Demand that Congress step in to stop the unfair rate hikes. The deadline for comments to the Postal Service is fast approaching.

Click here to sign the letter before April 23 to alert Congress and put the Postal Board of Governors on notice.

I am.  Very, very, seriously.

Srsly.

Well, he waited until the kid was an adult.  And a near legendary hero.  And did it by proxy.  There was some skulduggery between him and Themis (or maybe Thetis?) to knock the lad off, according to some of the legends.  There was a prophecy that he could become the next king of the gods or something.  And the Trojan War was the perfect chance to do it.

Nope.  Zeus and Achilles.  That was part of the whole excuse for the war, to get Achilles iced.

I will kill any such child before it can be a threat to me.

Cain,
like a cross between Zeus and Herod, on meth

"the central scrutinizer is actually Cain... or Cain's parents"

Cain has no parents. HIMEOBS assembled him from the bodyparts of dead trolls.

And I cannot be killed by man of woman born.

His "Superman" was never a biological creation, it was a spiritual one, as anyone who read Thus Spake Zarathustra knows, and despite how much Rosenburg wanted it to be otherwise.

I don't distrust his intentions. He does imply a difference between enlightened faith or the more mysterious 'knowing' and the constraints of the patterend ego:

. . . only in the <i>invincible faith</i> that this sun, this window, this table is a truth in itself, in short, only by forgetting that he himself is an artistically creating subject, does man live with any repose, security, and consistency. If but for an instant he could escape from the prison walls of this <i>faith</i>, his "self consciousness" would be immediately destroyed.

And yes he does state that the subject has to 'forget' his one-way metaphorical relationship to experience, and therefore exercise personal power from an enlightened state, but the idea of the 'superman' in a spiritual sense, is volatile and prone to missinterpretation. This is in part probably down to his writing style, but I also feel the whole concept betrays a certain arogance in Nietzche. Whichever way you look at it, the 'superman' or 'overman' is considered a superior being, better  than human. Yes, any real connection between Nietzche and Nazism is a mistake, as is any attempt to deny that he was anti-authoritarian and believed ultimately in self-law (Of the Superman). But he still projected a perfectionist ideal onto the future and created a saviour figure (personified or not), and in that is as guilty of nihlism as Christianity.

His writting and ideas are amazing, and I would tell anybody to read them. There is a lot that is good in Nietzche. But his Ubermensch still implies that we are not good enough, which in turn implies a slight superiority and arogance. I believe that should be noted.

I have no major disagreements with that.

I'll set one up in O:MF.

We'll prove drug dealing, shapeshifting Satanic reptilians from outer space who founded the NWO are behind this shooting, or die trying!

Do we have a tinfoil hat take on world events thread?

Because we need one.

Um, how does that relate to PD.com?

The elephants ones are pretty damn cool, reminds me of Pitch Black.

Yeah, I thought thats what you may have meant.  Sorry, late night + dealing with idiots does not make me a nice person until 3pm.  He has a very mystical tone to his writing, which is quite unusual with Germans.  I think thats part of the problem, because he can express the idea with usual German clarity, but it seems to take on a larger meaning and significance.  The only other Germans who wrote like that were von Goethe and Carl Schmitt, the latter of which was also not a Nazi, but his work was taken on by them (and he had sympathies in that direction, too).

Hang on a moment: only an idiot could take any of Netzsche's writings and end up with Nazism, or indeed any sort of position on murder.  Nietzsche hated Germany, and anti-Semites in particular, he mocked Romantic nationalism and also despised the English (who Hitler held in high accord).  He called the state "the coldest of all beasts" and thought the worst of them to be the second Reich.

If anything, Nietzsche can be blamed for the ills of early psychiatry, as he was a direct influence on Freud and the like.  However, his contribution to the understanding of Nihilism, his worryingly global skepticism, his understanding of the development of morals as a political tool and his criticisms of Christianity, while sometimes somewhat unorganized or hard to follow, are pretty much unmatched even now.  His "Superman" was never a biological creation, it was a spiritual one, as anyone who read Thus Spake Zarathustra knows, and despite how much Rosenburg wanted it to be otherwise.

Do you watch The Boondocks?(everyone should)
You are the white Uncle Ruckus.

No, I probably should.  I'll download some programs from somewhere.
