Who knew that cannibalism in Iraq would invoke SigmundFreud’s ‘Civilization against the Discontents’.
II
Doesn’t it’s horror put the 9/11 ambush into a gestalt of animosity and revenge against Western civilization? Your’ re brought up on values that are being cauterized and vitiated by cannibalism that cyber space and digital turf have helpenergize.
Cannibalism indeed!
III
Who knew that the pleasure principle inbred within the Westerngalaxy would anchor depravity. To subject the planet to a SiliconValley merciless technology.
The myth of the Minotaur, seeking to demystify his very myth. Mr. Hyde’s counter point to Dr Jekyll?
Yet the reality of the caved Aegean Sea monster was overcome by his own self destructiveness.
His ultimate passion in the grip of his murderous soul: his struggle with the Athenian’s Prince guile.
That agility slew the Minotaur: the Dragon in the Aesop Grimm fairy tales of our youth.

“Captain Blood’s” swashbuckling comes back to haunt the avenger. Cannibal headhunters, relishing their “Lawrence of Arabia” ‘s lightning speed, to look in the mirror and see the image of their horror.
“The Lives of the Bengal Lancers” The French Foreign Legionaiding and abetting mothers and their children. A brutalitycommitted in the name of a counter point..
A betrayal indeed!
V
Do we hear the Minotaur screaming for mercy?
What goes around comes around.
Sigmund Freud’s ‘Civilization against the Discontents’ playingout…..
