Ecce Homo, the Latin words spoken by Pontius Pilate when he presented Jesus Christ to a hostile crowd before his crucifixion. This translates in english to the phrase Behold the Man.
Ecce Homo is also a later work of the great philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, one of his last books before he descended into syphilis induced insanity for the rest of his life. Ecce Homo is a self examination by Nietzsche of his own development and work, his autobiography if you will, albeit an unconventional one.
More than an attempt to document and comment on the human condition, and my own personal one at the same time, I hope to communicate some more unconventional viewpoints here, discussing a variety of subjects such as politics, society, philosophy, music, books, movies, really anything that seems of interest.
I leave you with a few quotes from our illustrious Founding Fathers (and some other guys too).Yeah, you know where I'm going with this.
"Creationists make it sound like a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night." -- Isaac Asimov
"The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." --Thomas Jefferson
"Fear is the foundation of most governments." -- John Adams
"Faith: not wanting to know what is true." -- Friedrich Nietzsche
True, all true. A few of us still want to know what is really going on. Most people just can't face it and so they attack what they don't want to understand.
