observer Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wonder when Spartacus was kicking off about a slave revolt, did anyone say to him " well, it's always been like this - so why bother?" ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 do you think the slaves democratically elected him as a pokeman (ha ha spokesman damn my low keyboard batteries), and was it proportional representation ?

observer Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Think they voted with their feet, and paid with their lives, being crucified along the Appian Way as an example to all slaves, to "know their place" in society. Divine justice appears to have caught up with the Roman victor (Crassus); who was eventually killed by the Parthians, allegedly being forced to swallow molten gold. :confused: [ 21.09.2007, 00:00: Message edited by: observer ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
