Scientific American on Television Addiction

Etcetera writes: "The Drudge Report had an interesting link to a Scientific American article on Television Addiction. Talks about some of the quantifiable effects TV watching can have on the body. Very interesting read. There's also a paragraph or two at the end about game/computer use and why that might be a *little* bit different. But, similar to Jon Katz's essay Browsing Alone, they conclude that when a habit interferes with a growing, active life, it should be taken seriously."

Neitzsche was also, by you defination a Nazie.

Ridiculous. Heidegger was a nazi, that is beyond all doubt. He was, for Christ's sake, even one of the few nazis who did never admit being mistaken. He stood firm till his death in 1974. Nietzsche, on the other hand, was everything but a nazi. His ideas about the ubermensch are among the most misunderstood in the history of philosophy. Besides it was his sister who suited his philosophy to nazism long after his death.

Besides, I don't buy your crap about taking "Heideggier" as "Heidegger" was already taken. Why not? You obviously couln't spell N-I-E-T-Z-S-C-H-E either.
