Nietzsche on The State:


"It bites with stolen teeth. "


-- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
Source: from "Thus Spake Zarathustra"



This image nicely sums up my reaction to President Obama's speech last night (which I hope to respond to in more detail later.) I am well aware of the fact that the previous administration did it's share of biting as well. My 'beef" is not just with Democrats but with all politicians who coercively use other people's money (a.k.a. yours and mine) to gain power and prestige, and in the process undermine both individual freedom and responsibility.

Nietzsche was also against capitalists, so vulgar.
