Authors ask for money today, storytellers asked for money then. I wont take anyones subtle message away from them, whatever someone sees there is valid....but....the narrative is a successful vehicle because it allowed to narrator to rattle his cup at as broad a group as possible. That's because it's a pretty good story, regardless of what may have sprung up when it was cobbled together with other narratives in the distant future. It remained a good way to rattle the cup even after it was wedded to the other narratives. Now that, is fucking resilience...cause some of the rest of this shit is booooooring.
Nows a good time to remind everyone that my cup is rattling.....gimme mah kudos.

Quote:2) an explanation for the lower status of women that I have to take a deep breath and count to ten before I can look at it any other way.It was Eve that had the balls to take the first bite. Adam was timid as a churchmouse. I'd say she's the "aggressor" in the relationship, definitely wearing the pants (that they were subsequently gifted with)...lol. He's the quiet conniver, the child that doesn't prevent misbehavior, but is quick to blame his fellows when caught. Maybe he should have stood up to god right there and then. All around he seems, to me, to be a sad sort of archetype for a man (even if he might be a realistic one).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
