I don`t know just what any of us expect to accomplish in our spare time...nickel and diming it. It would appear this entire thing is just a hobby...like at aina and beth...when everything else they have to do that`s "important" is over with...and not on the weekends either...they`ll "Post Their Passions". Which amounts to rat-finking on each other...the Turks...the Q---`s and A-rabs...Muslims...Liberals...did I say each other?

If you tried to produce an opera or a tea party on those terms it would look, sound and taste about the way Assyria does. The monument of Ashurbanipal was built on an entirely different model...that`s why it`s up there in San Francisco...and the reason Assyrians tried to derail it at the last minute: the last thing these Assyrians want is to see the bar raised. We don`t lack the talent or the bucks...just guidance and most of all, the dire need of drowning all these leaders of ours who come to the Heritage to see what it will do for them. They`ll stop us every time.

Narsai started out helping and it was due to his position that we had the smooth ride we did. But he too went the way of, "why should I make YOU famous"...because these guys are in competition WITH the Heritage...with the name they can make...even if it`s in a teapot. I could have gone a lot farther...for all of us, had it not been for these leaders...saddest of all Narsai...who now is the one trying to screw the Shumirum Monument. I guess it finally got to him..this disease of envy we have...like the Turk said, it`s our one absolute defining characteristic.

Assyrians my arse.
