we think Greeks were a very rational people and all until we learn about the Buphonia, an Athenian ritual where a laboring ox had to be sacrificed but at the same time, this was considered a terrible crime. so when the priest killed it with an axe, he had to throw it aside and get the fuck out of there running for his life. then the rest of the people discovered the crime scene and blamed the axe, the only one present. the axe was immediately carried before the court of the Prytaneum which charged the axe with having caused the death of the ox. sometimes it was absolved, others, it was thrown into the sea,
You cannot tell me they didn’t do all of this with a sense of humor.
Athena, goddess of wisdom, watching her dumbass patron city do this shit:
So can we please stop framing him as some sweet little harmless old dude now?
George W. Bush helped shape the conservative “anti-abortion” movement as a political movement with teeth. He denied funding to health organizations that performed abortions or even that handed out condoms or other forms of birth control. I am not surprised in the least that he is throwing his weight behind anti-abortion Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh would have been exactly the Supreme Court nominee he would have chosen to help smooth the path after losing the popular vote to Al Gore but getting the electoral college and to help support him in starting an illegal war.
A lot of millennials were just children when George Bush was president. Many of us began truly paying attention to politics during the Obama Administration.
In turn, many of us don’t remember that George W. Bush was literally so evil and was the literal figure head and one of the fathers who pushed America’s current state of social ignorance. Islamophobia, Homophobia, Welfare discrimination, anti choice rhetoric, and imprisonment rates of Black Americans and Latinos. He was a vehement liar and a vomit inducing scoundrel. He catapulted this country into a useless war over oil and resources. Which has lead to the death and displacement of millions of innocent Middle Easterners/South Asians and built a strong base for Islamophobia. Literally, his administration set the base for the hundreds of thousands of current refugees.
Read up and get educated on why he isn’t just some “old man who likes to paint in his free time now that he’s not president”.
Dubya Bush created two wars. Dubya created torture. Dubya exploded the deficits. Dubya policies handed Wall St the lawlessness to destroy the economy in 2008. Dubya let Katrina destroy New Orleans.
It’s possible for a grown man standing a couple of feet away, but we’re talking about a little kid hurling it from a bike out on the street, and nobody folds newspapers that tightly (I know–I was a paper girl when I was a kid).
Paperboy still lied to us. You don’t know how disappointed I was to never find that obstacle course at the end of my route.
Are you just going to gloss over the fact it’s in time with the Evangelion theme?
