Thanks, that is a good video--I didn't know most of the information it gives.

Are you saying that you identify with Aztec mythology? If so, what is it that you find compelling?

Yes that's what I'm saying. Specifically the part where 2 gods sacrificed themselves to make the cosmos and the sun, a third one to set it in motion, and where we as humans must feed them through sacrifice. I see that last part as repaying the gods for what they gave us through blood.

...It's the "must" part that I don't get. Why can't we just let the motherfuckers starve?  ::)

That is so true!

How much do we owe them?
When will it be enough?
What have they done for us lately?
They're smart, why can't they come up with artificial blood, or something?
