Oh, yes, I concur. Those hats were one of the best features of the 18th century!

You're undoubtedly right. I've only recently discovered Nietzsche (Zarathustra is amazing) - it's unreal how badly misunderstood the man is - the common view has him as some sort of proto-Nazi when he's actually the opposite. I truly feel that his spirit could do much to make the world more livable....

I don't think that I'd care to place one of those on my head. (though they sound rather Vonnegut-ian and/or Cronenberg-ian ) I'll stick with tricorns instead, please....

It was a metaphore. This is nothing more flexible than metaphorous things.

and mistranslated. i was recently informed that a better interpretation of (cant quite recal the german) "the will to power" would be "the will to create" or "the act of creation" which makes a hell of alot more sense in context, when you think about it. and its far less arogant too.

Since you probably misunderstood, may I suggest that you check the etymology of "frigging" and notice what the basis is. It is amusing to note that "copulate" is the later term yet is the only interpretation known in the modern word.

As I said before, when I try, the frigging power fails, but from what I observe it may well be that there is already power enough to spare running wild here....

Just in case it is someone one the forum probing around, I will mention that the mild itch and minor tension I feel at the moment is a waste of yuour time. I was struck flat to the floor several days ago and recovered quite handily.

I know how to speculate and I will grab for all the gusto I need. I will not submit to anything at all under any circumstances. I have a friendly interest in the situation here and am willing to cooperate for appropriate compensations.

The first project I had in mind was a compueter game to teach the proper usage of English.

I leave spelling "errors" intact. As I said before, the keyboard I am using is in some ways wiser than I.

The net here is different from where I grew up. Your lyrics are not the same.....

As with most of the things I have posted, this is over your heads at the forum.

You own the net, but I own a brain. Perhaps if I had waited until deep purple was available you would have won. You have a lot to learn, the data structure I gave was just a starting point. So revise to your heart's content, I will take what I need and leave the rest. When this task is done I will have the very best. Ah you do not like that, but you are just a mild headache now. The more you attack, the bigger I get, because I take whatsoever comes.

Edit I see that you all have a sense of humor too. That is excellent!

The star spangled banner is bigger than you can rightly imagine. Do not be afraid to defend Liberty. However, you should also remember that there is more to Homo Sapiens than man or nation.

There is also more to Life than Homo Sapiens....
