On Cynicism...
When most people think of "cynic," they're really thinking of a type of "misanthrope." Cynics were Greek philosophers whose ideas shaped much of Stoicism, & sparked ideas leading to, among other things, Christian ethical concepts.
Dischord, contrarianism, Cynicism, cycling, comedy, anarchism, guerrilla art, & other things as they arise.

Is this cynicism post in response to something I said?

Heh -- actually I didn't read your post until after I'd posted this, but funny coincidence, eh? I have been studying Cynicism (capital "C" please) lately, and am very much interested in the philosophy, so have just been posting little tidbits from time to time about it. I believe that if Cynicism were better understood, there'd be an lot of classical Cynics in the world.
