The never ending battle between pussy and books. More of a sustained beat-down on the part of pussy, but books win a round here and there.

“Suddenly we noticed barnyard cocks beginning a bitter fight just in front of the door. We chose to watch……the lowered heads stretched forward, neck-plumage distended, the lusty thrusts, and such wary parryings; and in every motion of the irrational animals, nothing unseemly- precisely because another Reason from on high rules over all things. Finally, the very law of the victor: the proud crowing, the almost perfectly orbed arrangement of the members, as if in haughtiness of supremacy. But the sign of the vanquished: hackles plucked from the neck; in carriage and in cry, all bedraggled - and for that very reason, somehow or other, beautiful and in harmony with nature’s laws.We asked many questions: Why do all cocks behave this way? Why do they fight for the sake of supremacy of the hens subject to them?
Why did the very beauty of the fight draw us aside from higher study for a while, and onto the pleasure of the spectacle?”
-St.Augustine, De Ordine (About Order) A.D.386“…let us not doubt that we moderns, with our thickly padded humanity, which at all costs wants to avoid bumping into a stone, would have provided {our ancestors} with a comedy at which they could have laughed themselves to death.”
- F. Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
The chronicles of the Empire will tend to skip over the history of resistance, whether minor or major. But even if the tribes’ gestures of resistance are recounted as having been futile, you can bet they hurt the bottom line.
The Empire spoke:
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.
…and sure enough the tribe of Hannibal Barca forever lives in the shadow of Rome.
The Empire generally steamrolls the tribes in its path, but its dominance doesn’t mean there was no resistance.
With great ease the Empire can erase victories large and small. The champions and even the clowns of the tribes are quickly removed from the books.
Jack Veneno is a famous Dominican wrestler … He is also a former NWA World Heavwyweight Champion, although his title reign is not officially recognized by the NWA. Outside the Dominican Republic, he is famous for his matches against Ric Flair.
Flair said that he let Veneno defeat him in order to avoid a riot among the Dominicans against him.
