Obama profile: Ability to evolve and adapt Sep 15, 2008
" At 18 years old, he was ready to fly on his own. From Barry to Barack Obama's academic record gave him his choice of colleges. Itching to live on the mainland for the first time, and packing a scholarship, he settled on leafy, tony Occidental College, a liberal arts campus in Los Angeles. He went ostensibly, he has written, because he'd become enamored of a girl who attended there, but classmates recall that he was more serious than that. He was trying - intensely - to figure out who he should... (San Francisco Chronicle)
Batman And Philosophy: The Dark Knight Of The Soul Aug 25, 2008
"Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), however, sees the state as a threat to individual self-expression and overcoming."

"Well, we've seen what just the opposite of this has done, it was called communism, and socialism. Where literally millions of people died, simply because they opposed the state religion, which was atheism. And many other were placed in gulags simply because they disagreed with the State, the Government. But, we don't have this here, we have a Representative Republic, where each person is allowed, by God, to life, liberty, and their pursuit of happiness.Now, our system while not perfect, is...

'Yard dog' politics still may emerge in primary Feb 24, 2008
The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "resentment" is such a powerful force it can be life-defining. Does resentment explain the Republicans' 30-year penchant for dirty politics - from Richard Nixon's tricksters to the character assassins who tried to destroy Mississippi Democrat Bill Allain in the 1983 gubernatorial campaign to Lee Atwater and Karl Rove.

Artists pay tribute to Lorca at poet's home Nov 21, 2007
Obrist has brought similar visual and performance arts to the homes of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Sils Maria and the architect Sir John Soane in London.

Elliott earls finds a voice in many mediums Nov 3, 2007
" Filming the performance for inclusion in the movie, he says it offers a new perspective to live vicariously through the characters he plays in his performances. As for the variety of mediums in which he works, Earls says he doesn't take any of his endeavors lightly. "You can't be a dilittante - the problem of having such a broad base is when you don't understand the history or tradition of anything - there's a thinness to the work," he says. But of course, that isn't to say Earls takes himself... (Athens Banner-Herald)

Why you pretend to like modern art May 1, 2007
Friedrich Nietzsche announced the death of God, and the arrival of the artist as hero, taking as his model Richard Wagner, about whose artistic merits we can argue on a different equation. Whether Wagner was a genius is debatable, but it is beyond doubt that the devotees of Nietzsche were no Wagners, let alone Bachs. (Asia Times Online)

Where did all the good times go? Apr 2, 2007
Friedrich Nietzsche, as lonely and tormented an individual as the 19th century produced, understood the therapeutics of ecstasy perhaps better than anyone else. At a time of almost universal celebration of the "self", he alone dared speak of the "horror of individual existence", and glimpsed relief in the ancient Dionysian rituals that he knew of only from reading classics - rituals in which, he imagined, "each individual becomes not only reconciled to his fellow but actually at one with him".

This is none other than Friedrich Nietzsche, or, for those who've seen pictures of him, that intense-looking walrus-man. "For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are there, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them! I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible. ". (Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, VA)
