The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for November 15, 2011

They are, just ask Calvin.

Silly Geeks, um Greeks…

Greeks failed to urn respect.

Actually, it’s the tigers who’d be luckier.

N. Africa was “the breadbasket of Rome”!

As if we’d be lucky if there were still dodos, mastodons, and pterodactyls.

Pearl: I thought Rome got most of its grain from the Ukraine via Crimea and the Black Sea.

George Carlin said it best, “saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempts by humans to control nature”.

Everyone is for the tigers, except for the guy herding the sheep from the hills to the stream and mothers with children.

And yet every tiger hugging liberal in North America would be upset if there were tigers in THEIR back yard. I’d welcome them – but upgrade my carry gun to a .454 Caswell. That will even knock a tiger on his butt.

Rome got its grain from anywhere they could conquer. A lot like the U.S. getting oil and ore.

Oh, about thirty drachmas a week.

At history museums, too much emphasis is placed on pottery. You can only tell so much about a culture from its pots.

Unfortunately,it’s always been easier to destroy than to build and preserve.
