the attempt thus far...to sit in rumination on the human lobby's definition, or towards constructing a manifesto of sorts, is completely against the spirit of the human lobby.
i could write it out..what it means to me..the particular causes i support. but that would just be my own opinion and in its solitary state useless. granted, it could be useful as a jumping off point for discussion, a first perspective. but i already know what i think. the attempt to put it into words just seems unnecessary, a put-on, aesthetics of the worst kind, trying to fit some cookie cutter movie plot , trying to fulfill some egomaniacal fantasy. it seems more important to gather, make a general pitch, and see how it goes from there. not limit their own conception to a response to mine and a comparison of difference. give the basic idea and get their pure riff of it.

About Me
- steven
- "Seeing that before long I must confront humanity with the most difficult demand ever made of it, it seems indispensable to me to say who I am. Really, one should know it, for I have not left myself "without testimony." But the disproportion between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contemporaries has found expression in the fact that one has neither heard nor even seen me. I live on my own credit; is it perhaps a mere prejudice that I live? ... I need only to speak with one of the "educated" who come to the Upper Engadine for the summer, and I am convinced that I do not live ... Under these circumstances I have a duty against which my habits, even more the pride of my instincts, revolt at bottom, namely, to say: Hear me! For I am such and such a person. Above all, do not mistake me for someone else!" - Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
