"nietzsche's arg is basically how biopower (as foucault later calls it) is trying to protect life. the state's goal is to protect life as the highest goal. "god is dead" shows how he's for the separation of church and state, but he'd still be okay with people taking higher values in religion (just as long as it's apolitical). as an extensialist, what eternal recurrence would be for me is for life to go on forever, so what i do is imagine it like if could repeat this life forever, life as the highest of values."

Nietzsche died decades before the India's independence? Not trying to be a troll, just curious and hoping for clarification.

I'm not old enough to actually know this, but I've heard a number of stories that after the Thriller video everyone started wearing that red jacket.

Coco's, which is slightly south of 21st on the drag, has decent chinese food. Like Dave said, Madam Mam's is really good if you like Thai. Crave, on 21st @ Guad, has really good Thai curry. Crave also has Sushi, but i like the sushi at Sushi Nichi(spelling? Its a few blocks west of the drag on 24th) better, esp M-Th 4-6 (Half price on a lot of stuff).

This thread may indeed be book porn, but I enjoy it nonetheless (even though I've never contributed).

Please don't leave us alone with the crazy Texas state legislature...

On a related note, if anyone has HBO I would encourage them to watch "Death on a Factory Farm" on Monday. I've heard some pretty good reviews. http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2009/03/13/2009-03-13_he_hogties_abuse_on_hbo_documentary_deat.html

I remember hearing people talking about poor veterans services earlier, that providing more services would increase army recruitment. I don't know if this is true or a good idea, I just remember people talking about it on this board.

I've never heard of a Kritik being won because it had more expert opinions than the other side.

I think March 26-30th, not 100 percent sure. You coming up to visit, Sean?

That's because its hard to explain. For me it was just a good experience - good, coherent story, interesting framing device (gameshow), good acting, lots of funny parts, lots of good sad parts, etc.
