Back In The Stone Age
And they wonder why they are called 'stone chuckers' for a reason.
Human rights group Amnesty International says the victim was a 13-year-old girl who had been raped.Third World County...always a Third World Country.Initial reports had said she was a 23-year-old woman who had confessed to adultery before a Sharia court.
Numerous eye-witnesses say she was forced into a hole, buried up to her neck then pelted with stones until she died in front of more than 1,000 people last week.
And yet, this is the ideal for many people who would rather live in a dark age than a golden one. The risk of being a slave in a dark age is quite bearable, for even the tiniest chance of being a god-king of such an age. Either would be preferable than being a mere citizen, or even a president, in a golden age, for even presidents must obey the law, and submit to the will of the people they lead. God-kings may not enjoy a much higher quality of life, but they submit to no man-made law, not even their own.
Even life as a slave would provide the simple sadistic joy of seeing one's neighbors suffer as well. Try to convince a citizen of a golden age that he should suffer, and the response will usually range from, "Whatever, dude," to, "You first." There's nothing more frustrating to the sadists who make up the various self-destructive movements of the world.
