	Read you Nietzsche and Philosophy:  all existence is valuation and
evaluation.  This need not be self-referential, or anthropomorphic.
Further, there are no facts, only interpretations -- that is why each 'fact'
must be brought back to a will to power that would will its being.

	Did I imply anything about Sartre in my above comment?  You are
leaping to incorrect conclusions again, rock hopper.

	And, to put the point simply, your claims to see facts so clearly
and unambiguously amounts to precisely the sort of bullshit that Deleuze and
Guattari criticize.

	BTW, you are on the west coast of the US, no?  Isn't it about 4 am
there?  Exactly how pathetic is your life that you are on the internet at
such a time?
