And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

In our youth, Mrs. CW and I used to like to go to a Mexican restaurant in Woodland (Jody's) that had this decoration on the wall.
I'm thinking that the woman is a captured prisoner. As was so often the case in old Mexico, she will likely be sacrificed with her heart being cut from her chest and then eaten. Good times. Good times.
Pay close attention to the menu at that restaurant.
Saw the same/similar pic in plenty of Mexican restaurants in So. Cal.when I lived there In the 80's. Difference being the comely young woman in the pics I saw wasn't wearing a dress. In fact she wasn't wearing much of anything.
reminds me of a cartoon I saw back in the 60's. I think it was in my Dad's Playboy magazine. Two Roman solders each carrying a naked woman over their shoulder walking away from a burning village. "Prisoners, of course we take prisoners", one said to the other with a grin on his face. A classmate in my freshman history class at my catholic high school traced the cartoon and turned it in as an historical illustration assignment. Most of our teachers were Christian Brothers, but our history teacher was a lay teacher and our football coach. He gave him an "A" for the assignment.

ReplyDeleteI prefer the one between Tristian and Isolde. Am I being a racist?
DeleteDid they pay you to pose for the painting?

I think you forgot about the Hot Chix exemption
DeleteEven then, when men were bloodthirsty, mighty warriors, they were not above copping a feel.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely copping a feel.😁
DeleteThey threw virgins off the temple to their death?
ReplyDeleteThe crazy bastards deserved to go extinct.
Probably just the ugly ones.
DeleteThey are not extinct. Their descendants are flooding this country.
DeleteNailed it.

ReplyDeleteNow see? We just don't seem to have teachers like that anymore. Course, I could be wrong.
