Shrouded in mystery, the sudden disappearance of the Mayan empire baffles historians and provides fodder for the imaginative. What is known about the Mayan culture suggests that the world is a better place without it, or is it? We can imagine that the leadership of the last surviving remnants of the empire was less than optimal. Suppose the Blame Mesoamerica First crowd has weaseled its way into power concerning itself with looting the treasury and subjugating the people to enrich themselves and their comrades. Flash forward: As Mrs. Obama stands on the Great Wall and tells the Chinese how much America sucks, we hope she gives a thought to the injustice perpetrated on the million or so forced laborers who died building the ultimate public works project. Or for the religious and political prisoners that labor in China today. Yeah, right. To quote an unnamed Chinese hotel worker from Michelle's luxurious hotel, "I can't wait for this to be over". We second the motion.
Give til it hurts.
The golf tees are nice touch.
The dissapearance of the Mayans isn’t “shrouded in mystery.”
They were a culture of war in an area that got hit with an extended regional drought. They collapses under the famine and disease that a drought of that magnitude and duration brings. Their enemies probably didn’t let many escape the region unless they had something of value to buy their lives with.
LOVE the golf tees, LOL!
Hyperbole? I’ll wager Obamek had cut down on spear production for the warrior class in favor of making human sacrifice more accessible to the masses.
