As part of my ongoing anthropological, sociological, and psychological exploration of the primitives on Skins's island, I'm constantly coming across new and different ways to look at the primitives (besides in puzzled amusement).
While reading about the Black Death (the bubonic plague) in Europe (1347-1349), I came across a reference to Erysichthon, famous in ancient Greek mythology as a destroyer of the earth.
(By the way, this is neither here nor there, but useful to know; the political correctionists are trying to disavow the responsibility of medieval yellow people in China and medieval brown people in India for the bubonic plague, instead trying to make it the white man's burden, medieval white men in Europe, who then apparently managed it so as to retroactively affect these other places, other races.)
Erysichthon destroyed a valuable orchard, and as punishment, was given an insatiable hunger; the more he devoured, the more he wanted.
He ate up everything under the sun, but still wanted more.
In the end, Erysichthon consumed his own self.
Anybody besides franksolich see the blatant similarities between the primitives on Skins's island, and this long-ago Erysichthon?
edited to correct misspelled word; sorry for the inconvenience, it won't happen again

Applicable in many aspects of how they conduct their lives.

Exactly...in their immature emotional state they exist for "want",when they don`t get what they want they have a tantrum (child in a grocery store)(free healthcare).
When they do get what they want they are not responsible with it (child eating all the cookies in a box spoiling their dinner and making themself sick)(credit cards).
Then in a short amount of time they have to want for more or something else beginning the cycle again.
Eventually the want and ensuing rage destroy any hope for joy.

Oh my.
Primitives have been reading this fossilized thread, so I guess I'll make it easier for them to find.

I wonder now if the Las Vegas Leviathan and the LynneSin primitive have seen this.

Hey DUmmies,

Well said brother. The greed meme is just projection for the DUches. Speaking of destroyed orchards, just look at the central valley of kalifornia. Billions of food producing trees that take 20-30 years to begin to produce were bulldozed under for the leftist mantra of environmentalism.
