Do you speak Greek? Or did you study the old Greek literature?

I remember having read Lysistrata (at uni, I think), but my memory is hazy. smiley - senior

Hi B'Elana,

Lysistrata - first Women's Lib play. Great idea - all the women of Greece refused to have sex with their men until the men stopped the war. Needs all women to take part, unfortunately, otherwise there'll be long queues at certain doors...

Could be tried today, in spite of all the propaganda about all the killers being Our Brave Heroes and the lies about Our Progress. Nah, couldn't really, I'm afraid. The propaganda and lies are too strong for the simple-minded and/or gullible majority.

Harry.

It's often so clever, it tricks the ones who are sceptics, too.

Just look at the swine flu problem: what do you, and what don't you believe? How are you supposed to know what's true? There's no way you can check their 'facts'.
