One no longer encounters such tasteful analysis of Arabian excrement nowadays; I suppose it has lost its shock value, unless the newly-arrived Russian emigrants pushing them out simply show better decorum when relieving themselves. I do try to get my students to experience Adam Curtis; his Power of Nightmares is especially powerful. This little excerpt may just do it.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
