立ち上がれ気高く舞え天命(さだめ)を受けた戦士よ
たとえ傷ついて力尽きても
熱くなれ大きく咲け天に捧げし命よ
明日の平和への礎となれ
赤く燃え見事に散って星になった命よ
時を越えその名前を胸に刻もう　JUST　FOREVER

@razibkhan Potentially. Afro-Asiatic and Dene-Yeniseian are probably older than that.

Systemic shared morphology is the gold standard for identifying linguistic relationships, and some languages preserve morphology better than others.

@Thomasdelvasto_ I highly recommend "The Church Impotent" by Lee Podles.

Great account of the feminization of Wester Christianity, and includes a good survey of the anthropology of masculinity and femininity.

@QuetzalPhoenix Convinced that unhinged Mexican and Central American violence is a legacy of the conquistadors, not Indians.

Mesoamericans were brutal but highly controlled. Spanish hidalgos less so.
