[lbo-talk] Thus Spake Zarathoprah!

[shag carpet bomb]

Kinda typical though innit? She reads and surrounds herself by people who 
spew this stuff - though I suspect it has very little to do with Nietzsche 
and a whole lot more to do with religious writers and speakers who've been 
talking like this since, what?, 1870s? There was a good article in Harper's 
last year about the gospel of wealth and prosperity, peddled especially at 
blacks in the u.s. traced it back to the 19th century. Guy in cube next to 
me is an aspiring comedian, talks just like that about success - well, his 
future success anyway. It's all in your mind.
