(See Otto Scott's > "Robespierre: The Voice of Virtue" for a primer on all this . . .) Excellent. no more new than renaissance with out antic buggerer grecian profil revival., and yes you don't skimp on goofy of just history yourself. you make the things sumptuously, i love particularly 'wine sex and magic' wonderful. Your description is quite good for illuminating a well horned black sabbath where one eats babies in playing cards under condition nobody say king and queen and during the aristocrates sing and dance with a red necklace cause they will be guillotined tomorow. sade in his book 'frenchman an effort till for being revolutionair' says all the husbands have to give their wife to the people and no woman could never refuse sexual advance from a french nomore. but yes there is a roman emperor who prostitute all the wife of senators and another one who nakedwomen-draw his chariot, but it is said that from moon no human realisation is visible exept wall of china..so imagine despair about even the biggest earthling naked arse ! nothing new under the moon and one doesn't wait otto for characterising these guys as livid executioners 'smearors of laws' cause hombre, looking down all the great human wraths is -always- looking down the humans full stop. so nothing new sub sole with otto no more. tell it him goofy notions of history is a right and may be a duty and often an honour then beliving to say the definitive truth in surch banal terms about surch overtaken things is just inanity.
