    Parson Jim and Ben Dover, I suppose I do see your point

    I'm listening to the Iliad on CD right now.

    I suppose it would have been wrong for Briseis, for example, to complain that she was kidnapped and given to Achilles as a slave merely because she was a woman, when all her male relatives had probably been slaughtered by Achilles and his friends just because they were men.

    So I do get your point about all of the unfair accusations we terrible guilty women make against you saintly innocent men.

    Life is hard all over, I get it, right.

    I just really feel for you and all of your terrible pain that keeps you coming here day after day, night after night, crying out to the gods for justice.

    —No Name Given
