Are there any Nietzche readers out there? I’m trying to remember some quotes about how Christianity glorifies suffering and finds nobility in poverty and I think his point was that was a control to keep the great unwashed in check.
I’m reading Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – it is really good!
Off to the cafe to clean out the inbox, read some more of Problem from Hell and get the coming week organized.
