why on earth anyone would think that Gibson would make an historically accurate movie is beyond me, especially considering the historically INaccurate movies he made like Braveheart and that damnable Patriot, which was, in terms of history complete bullshit.

As such, we can assume that the rest of the population was also taking drugs to gain the visions of their gods as well. We can see this drug culture in the symbols used in decorating their temples and pyramids--specifically, the snake which represents Rahu, the Hindu god of illusion and delusion. It is further conceivable that the victims for the sacrifices were given drugs to become docile, in their hallucinations, to participate in their impending deaths. Aren't these similar to the drug culture today in Mexico and the USA? I don't think so no. The Aztec priests might have taken hallucinogens but that doesn't follow that the general populace did. And even if it was similar it doesn't follow that there is some sort of universal system whereby punishment for events is meted out to later generations or even to people living in the same place. These days everyone is into cocaine which is a different kettle of bananas to hallucinogenics anyway. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : The Pope said so. But the Mexicans are furious. It's also possible that the violence is due to the past karma of the country--such as the sacrifice of people to the Aztec gods, before the Spaniards came to Mexico. Is it possible? Most Mexican aren't even indigenous, especially in the north of the country where most of the violence takes place at the border. I think a more likely explanation for the deaths is selfish American druggies who think that doing a line of coke on a saturday night doesn't hurt anyone. The pope is an asshole.
