Not too different from our "civilization": the machine demands a
sacrifice (Colosseum), so we feed the Sacred Automobile with child meat
on a regular basis! As if they needed it to run...
See you in Khyberspace!

Hello Dick,
thanks a lot for this post. I was aware that the Maya were cruel to
their enemies from a lot of TV-Documentations That they sacrificed
children is a new intelligence to me. One ever learns...
Best regards
Michael

Hello Yadgar,
I have some difficulties in understanding your post. I cannot see a
connection between the Roman Colosseum and automobiles. The only
personal connection I have is that I passed the Colosseum by riding an
atac-Bus this year to reach the St. Sebastian catacombs at Rome. If I
could afford it, which is not the case, I would really like to move to
Rome, the most fascinating city I ever visited.
Besste regards
Michael

It's not about the Colosseum in Rome, but the same-named progressive
rock band... on their 1969 album "Valentyne Suite" one title is "The
Machine Demands A Sacrifice" - taken as cynical allusion to the "car
worship" of modern societies and its deadly consequences.

Yes, indeed... I visited Rome 30 years ago, and I surely would do so
again - but this time in summer, not in early March!
See you in Khyberspace!
