Hi David,

There are some disturbing implications converting Nietzsche's anti- 
equality and democracy from within individual p-o-v to the cultural 
p-o-v, but I haven't the stomach to consider it too seriously at the moment.

Yes, I love my iPod.  I even have Wagner's entire Ring Cycle on 
it.  What's a walkman?  It's hard to even remember.
