We talk about Greece as the cradle of civilization. But Salon and Heroditus and Plato always pointed to Egypt.

Oh great pyramid that seems to be reaching straight up into the sky.
The ancient Egyptians long ago constructed and built you upon high.
The mysteries of those who composed you still astounds me.
A pyramid is a wonderful relic of the past, many of us do agree.

You have to go back only 5,000 years, maybe ten thousand years to examine how we got to where we are today.

Egypt has seen many regime changes in that time. Foreignors like Caesar have conquered it many times. Religions have changed hundreds of times in that period.

Egypt will always survive!

Amen!

That reminds me of a comparison; male and female, two faces of human kind.

God and Satan two faces of the spirit kind, both with separate governments.

One is a better government; the other a shadow government. Two faces of government.

In reply to One told us the truth; that

Don't you have that backwards? At least, according you your chosen texts. Never mind, anyway. I regard Yaweh as a variant of Baal, and Baal, of course, is the mythic origin of Satan. Like love and marriage in the song, can't have one without the other...

One told us the truth; that we would surely die, the other said we wouldn't.

What's the difference?

You might think that somewhere in the second week of these brave peoples' struggle, someone amongst TPTB would find a moment to express shame for our complicity in their decades of oppression...but oh, no...we are fuckin' shameless.. Sadly, Wolfie's satiric rendering of American complacency and self involvement is just scratching the surface.

America--born on third base and we think we hit a triple. Lucky in location, predatory neighbor, self righteous and self important. Exceptional, all right! And the world is damn lucky, because two such *cities on the hill would be terminally toxic to life as we know it..

* And, yes, (wait for it....) I largely blame the Yahwists for most of what's wrong with us.
