Re: Thermopylae
Interesting how the shoreline has changed so dramatically over time.

Re: Thermopylae
It is remarkable that man could name a place so beautiful and compare it to the cavernous entrances to Hades.
The more I understand about religion and the controls over people, all religions seem to follow a criteria.
They treat us like mushrooms. Feed them bullshit, keep them in the dark then eat them.
Amassing great numbers of men for the slaughter.
It would be nice to see this place replanted with trees, in honor of every weary battlescared solider that fell here.

Re: Thermopylae
Nice sentiment, L&G. I agree that would be appropriate.

Re: Thermopylae
The spirit of the post is to show how a few people where able to stop an insurmountable force of Tyranny by making a stand at the Gates. Or in this tale the Hot gates. If they do not defend their position, it will befall their culture into Hell like conditions. The Tyrannical army made it through, but the valiant effort of how a few stood against many became inspiration for more to make a stand.
Tactically the strategy was to meet the Horde at the smallest point of entry, and there the huge numbers would not be an advantage.

Re: Thermopylae
Good synopsis -- thanks. How could we use a similar strategy to defeat the ruling sociopaths?

Re: Thermopylae
I dont know how to stop them Chic. I use the Thermopylae strategy plan and apply pressure where there numbers cant usually over take me. This applies in my mind, at home, work, social dynamics and here at this Portal.

Re: Thermopylae
The Tyrannical army made it through, QUOTE MAGAMUD This is not a very hopeful synopsis. Still planting trees is a useful way to change the old energy that is stagnant. Planting a tree is hopeful for tomorrow. I know this is very left field but we have to plants seeds for a new tomorrow. Seeds of hope. Was this really the gateway to hell? Like a portal?
