Whose one is the Ripper ? Jon, Robert, I'm lost and I can't wait to sell my suspect.

[Robert]

David, if you want to make a fast buck, try Friedrich Nietzsche. Great philosopher. Went insane January 1889. Could have hopped across to do 1888 murders.

[DVV]

Hmmm....Dionysiac murders, then...not bad, my dear, not bad...

[DVV]

Great philosopher. Went insane January 1889.

Everytime I look at his moustache, I sense he might have gone insane years before.

Dionysus/Apollo

Hello Robert, David. Oh no--strictly Apollonian.

Cheers.

No, he was already identifying himself with Dionysos in 1888, imo. Anyway I've got my title : "Birth of the Whitechapel Tragedy".

[Robert]

That moustache is called a soupstrainer in English.

His early philosophy juxtaposed the Apollonian with the Dionysian, but in his later years "Dionysian" came to mean the control of the former Dionysian by the Apollonian, both existing together - in other words, the passionate man who is master of his passions, neither being their slave nor eradicating them (as he accused Christianity of seeking to do). "Have I been understood? Dionysos against the Crucified."

[DVV]

Yep, Apollo is morbid while Dionysos brings life. But that was already in the Birth of Tragedy. The zoroastrian figures of Ahura Mazda and Angra Manyu are quite comparable, btw. In fact, I see all Nietzsche's works as an exegese of the Birth of Tragedy.

entitlement

Hello David. Nietzsche was. But some of the WCM seem well planned. Hence, Apollo.

For a title, what about: "Twilight of a Porky: An Account of How 'Jack' was Shown to be a Load of Old Rubbish."?

Cheers.

Hi Lynn. The only innocent I've accused to be the Ripper was Grainger. I was 6 years old at the time.

police suspects

Hello David. I think the overwhelming majority of police "suspects" are innocent.

Cheers.

[DVV]

Certainly so. Starting from September. (heh-heh)

[Robert]

For Nietzsche as Ripper, a good title would be "Jenseits Guts Und Boss."
