All depends on how you view it. I, for example, do not have control issues. I'm fine with control. What I have are lack of control issues.

(ahem)---I think human sacrifice, meant to assuage the gods, is highly ineffective. Neither virgin or king ever met with approval. I suggest reverting to groveling and adject terror--oh, wait! We're already doing that!

I suggest cursing and railing at the gods in vain. It is, as the 'in vain' suggests, not likely to accomplish anything. But it's easier on the virgins and less harmful to one's self respect than groveling and begging.
(Sacrificing kings isn't such a bad idea but they tend to resist more effectively than the virgins) |

Shall one curse with fist shaking at the sky? Or shall one rail with the gnashing of the teeth? Possibly, if one were really pissed, both?
Say I had a bad crop--would I shake my fist or gnash my teeth or BOTH? |

If you have a bad crop, apply for government aid and shake your fist at the politicians in the nearest free speech zone.

Just declare yourself a small, third world country. Apply for US Gov't Aid. Join the UN. Deplore US actions every chance you get. It's a cottage industry and entertainment for most of the third world.

Well what a surprise, Wolf likes Ayn Rand.
"Does your position as a taker rather than a producer color your understanding of/reaction to Rand? " You go out of your way to be nasty or does it just come naturally? It worries me that you are in a position of power over vulnerable and damaged people. |

My question for you belongs on another thread or PM. I was all wounded and confused last night from the epiphany I suffered RE: men. Pay no mind. |
