Thanks for your comments Chris. I believe Mike Hollinshead and I speak rather fully about this in the article "Crossing the Divide" that I sent you and the list. Thank you again for your comments.

Even the Aztecs' own sources say it was much more than 1 per day -- and not "rain or shine", but greatly varying from occasion to occasion. Anyway, it's not important whether they sacrificed hundreds or tens of thousands per year. What matters is that they sacrificed humans at all, including children and POWs. There can be no justification for this barbarism, and I'm disappointed that you defend it. But unlike Gurstein, I do NOT apply Sippenhaft and blame "the Aztecs" in general, or even you as a Native, for the deed. I acknowledge that Predators -- their religious leaders -- did it. And I can distinguish this from their Producers' great accomplishments in agriculture, construction, water engineering and the arts. > Rain or shine unlike capitalism which sacrifices humans to > the God of profit in the thousands but you won't understand how that fits. I understand very well how that fits: In capitalism too, Predators -- the high priests of mammon -- provide the sacrificing ideology and force the sacrificing on decent people. If we want to stop human sacrificing, we have to identify those who are responsible. It seems you don't want to do that, but instead you defend them, or throw red herrings like an anonymous "capitalism" (i.e. the "invisible hand" that perps like Soros hide behind). This way, you help to perpetuate the sacrificing. > They also had the best water and sewage system in the world as well as the > best agricultural technology.

In fact, this is yet another example where Producers have to suffer from Predators.
