Okay, I Take it Back...

I do understand how someone can love a book that is contrary to one's ideals (I love Crime and Punishment and the Brothers Karamazov). Although, I will say that at the time I first read Crime and Punishment I was strictly Catholic and, therefore, liked it for that reason. It (and Dostoevsky's style) must somehow be ingrained in my mind as something pleasing, even though I don't believe in Christian existentialism for a second. On the other hand, I really dislike Nietzsche's philosophy, and Crime and Punishment is a type of argument against that philosophy (and I know Crime and Punishment was written before Nietzsche published his work, but Schopenhauer's philosophy was around at this time).

HAHA

One of the funniest things I've read in a while (Concerning why "This Land is Your Land" should be the American national anthem):

"True, Woody Guthrie was a bit of a Communist, but Francis Scott Key was a slave owner, for goodness' sake."
