#1 I dumped my Smithsonian subscription last year after having it for almost 30 years. The final straws for me were a) an article listing acts of terrorism which equated the Boston Tea Party and the 1976 olympic massacre in Munich and b) another of the seemingly bi-monthly articles about the wonderful, glorious, fully bunnies and ducks Mayas' 'civilization' where they cut out the hearts of their prisoners for sport.

Granted, they built great monuments and had running water, but so did the Nazis.

It's just another propaganda rag now.

#2 Gorg, Mayas or Aztecs? I know the latter were deep into human sacrifice, hadn't heard the same about the former.

#3 Apparently almost all of them, Hispanic American Indians.

I was shooting from the lip - I forgot about the Aztecs.

#5 The Munich massacre was in 1972, not 1976. I was in Germany at the time. Some friends of mine were supposed to go to Munich the day of the massacre. Needless to say, they cancelled their plans. Even this was not the first incident in the Islamofascist war against the West.

Most of the Meso-American Indians had blood sacrifices, but the Aztecs took it to new heights. There have been a couple of National Geographic reports of hundreds of bodies being found in sacred caves in Central America.

The Filipinos are getting pretty tired of the muzzies, and you may see a total pogrom against them in another couple of years. There have been some un-reported (at least in the US) intercepts of "volunteers" from Indonesia flooding some of the southern islands with "settlers". Expect a blowback.

#6 Gorg, Mayas or Aztecs? I know the latter were deep into human sacrifice, hadn't heard the same about the former.

The Aztecs were the pinnacle and culmination of the cutting-hearts-out sacrificial cult, but it was a long-standing tradition of the various Mexican cultures.

The Maya reveled in human sacrifice too, but not so much of the ripping hearts variety, though the post-classic Chichen-Itza culture of the Maya practiced it. The kinder, gentler Classic Maya preferred decapitation after much torture and public humiliation. And, yes, we have the pictures to prove it.
