...was brought to mind last night while watching the lunar eclipse. Every time I see one, I'm reminded of P.J. O'Rourke's line about shamans back in the old days; something along the lines of "Oh no, look! Sky Dragon is eating Moon Woman! Give me silver and I will make him spit her back out again."
Come to think of it, politicians use that one a lot these days, too.

"Sky Dragon is eating Moon Woman! Give me silver and I'll make him spit her out again!"
...... sounds like the GW oracle's basic arguement to me, in a nutshell.........
I was thinking of the same thing last night - how much bank sheisters of old must have made off the eclipse process.
But what if I want Sky Dragon to eat Moon Woman?
Think of the Dragons!
