Ouch, Qara !

Interesting. So she and Altan are ... Altan being a Turkish name, like Cengis, going back to the link with the Mongols, hmmm...

Esp. so angry, they can destroy a mind. I saw it w/my dad. 4 stdnts!

"...au potentiel gâché..."

there's a reason the word for 'drugs' in Fr is 'stupéfiants' and it is correct, Professor Druggie, and unlike your student, I've also seen the effects of drug addiction, via my dad, and so, I very much doubt that I will change my mind after hearing what you have to say. Let's see if she does...

Spir...des génocides... Actually what they're talking about is how we teach our children the founding national mythologies, and how those national myths that we learn when we're young build on the ways that we enforce obedience in society.

"ravitadlement constant et formidable diait ndcessitd par la
mortalitd excessive des esclaves, qui dtait presque triple de la

ouch, Thank you, Dr. Cooper!!

p. 12/17, actually: Everyone should download and read this...
yikes, Whites only for all the world, and yes, "Where are we to go?"

and worse...

P. 8/42: Exactly: "... tyrannic power.

poor kid: pick an identity, but not 'his' identity...

full room and board to study languages (although forced to speak English) at a prestigious imperial university? Who'd say no (except an idiot like me, who refuses the idea of killing for the fun of it as gung-ho 1988 'patriotism' used to "motivate" marines...)?
