Nietzsche and the Nazis

[Jeffrey Fisher]

and, btw, more to the point than my previous post, i honestly don't see 
the necessary logical progression from a doctrine of immortality to 
horror. certainly there are historical examples of progressions that 
resemble that, at least, but that doesn't prove the "in theory" part. 
"in theory" there's no conditional relationship between immortality and 
horror that i can see. there are simply too many other factors.

imo
