In fact, they were featured in full regalia in the local free paper. Hooray! Artificial bodily fluids for everyone!<BR/><BR/>(regarding the lycanthropes)<BR/>Y'all should check out the bits in the Malleus Maleficarum on Lycantropy. (FYI, the MM is a 16th century witch hunter's handbook written by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprengler... two nasty, misogynists that have a lot of blood on their hands) Their explanations are pretty intricate and demonstrate just how deeply this stuff was (and is) worked into culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167350.post-1124123557679599042005-08-15T09:32:00.000-07:002005-08-15T09:32:00.000-07:00Updog:I agree with what you write regarding war; i...Updog:<BR/><BR/>I agree with what you write regarding war; it is very much a "human endeavor." That "most folks" are justifying cruelty via "big certainties" is undeniable.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, this doesn't make the sentiment expressed by Holden any less popular. It is the reason organized team sports generate so much revenue. As you suggest, war is the MLB. Perhaps Holden could have been more precise by saying, "Young men love competition and old men love it in them?"<BR/><BR/>Devo:<BR/><BR/>Depending on the writer (and the believer), vampires and werewolves do not infect everybody they "feed" on. Vampires for example, can drain all the blood on a one-stop shopping spree, thereby killing the victim, or elect to return several times, being careful to drain just enough blood to infect rather than kill them.<BR/><BR/>Werewolves are less skilled in the "infection election" department, but they too can choose to be more tender with a victim, thereby giving the human an opportunity to recover.<BR/><BR/>Basically, if you don't want someone to be a part of your undying intellectual circle, you just make sure you've killed them before you move on to more mayhem...or the local Starbucks.Hungry Hyaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354349850246750046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167350.post-1124121010601830372005-08-15T08:50:00.000-07:002005-08-15T08:50:00.000-07:00Speaking of Gwar and maggots... one of the bandmem...Speaking of Gwar and maggots... one of the bandmembers owns a trendy sushi joint here in Richmond...

Struggle is the constant, violence is omnipresent, and victory is always fleeting. War, on the other hand, is a human endeavor. It does not exist except that we say it does and that we make it so.<BR/>I feel that most folks that talk in big certainties about the inevitability and grim glory of war are mostly attempting to justify their own cruelties or the cruelties they enable by proxy.<BR/>War IS like major league baseball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
