- When I visited Cancun a couple of years ago, I spent more time
- in the jungles, stumbling over unearthed ruins, than I did in
- the bars and discos of syntho-downtown. And learning Mayan
- glyphs, learning to count, stuff like that. My companion was
- fortunately of the same mind, she being an adventurous German
- woman. A friend who goes back ten years, a dear person.
-
- It made me very angry to hear that when the Spanish arrived, they
- immediately burned all the Mayan Codices they could find. They
- destroyed all but parts of four which survived till today.
-
- I would very much like to stuff the Catholic Church. They disgust
- me probably to a similar extent as the JWs disgust CJ.
-
- I think I am still angry with them. If I were Immune, I would consider
- burning a large Bible on the steps of the Vatican. Then a couple of
- young Catholic priests, perhaps, impaled on stakes before the eyes
- of Old Asphalt Breath. I suppose that this is juvenile, but at least
- my anger with this disgusting institution has remained fairly constant
- for at least twenty five years, so I call would call it "deeply felt".
-
- Or perhaps "velour".
-
- Ahh, what else will we have to offer the sheepish housewife
- and the blackbrained power freak? Truth alone won't hack it.
- Gak. Enough already.
