How about ancient Rome? The Caesars and the Vestel Virgins sit around congratulating themselves on the purity of the culture, while we plebians all sit around wondering what's really going on in the Forum...

Another Roman reference:
People in Second Life are like the people in Pompei Going about their merry lives, enjoying themselves. A little debauchery thrown in in some places. Then Mount Vesuvius (or in this case the Blog) spews forth and wipes everyone out. |

Actually from "Why we fight" it was supposedly, originally the "Congressional Military Industrial Complex", which is far more descriptive and damning. Of course here, we have the Linden Marketing, Legal, Support and Development Complex. Oh Rusty that made me giggle. My new mantra = "Linden Marketing, Legal, Support and Development Complex" |

Hmm...
1) The genocide, subjugation, and exploitation of Native Americans by European invaders with the declared intention of "civilizing those savages", while being motivated almost solely by greed. 2) Waco. 3) The treatment of the Jews by Rameses II (exploit 'em, then make them stop breeding) Anybody in the mood for a tea party? I'm sure there must be a suitable harbor somewhere in-world... |

3) The treatment of the Jews by Rameses II (exploit 'em, then make them stop breeding) Moses and the Exodus is a good one "Philo - Let my people go" "The 7 Plagues of Lag" "I bring you these 15 (crash) no, 10 !! Comunity Standards!" |
