Pyramids

I think the Pharaohs may have been onto something. Our Protestant work ethic is trying to turn us all into shopkeepers, and most men are not suited to being shop keepers. War, especially for young men, is more their style. Primitive warfare is probably best, people are killed individually. Modern warfare where you can kill thousands with one blow is a mechanical aberration.

Look at ancient Egypt. That civilization survived for thousands of years and I think one of the key elements was that they kept the population occupied doing hard manual labor. Go out and break rocks all day, and you are too tired to cause much trouble at night. And it was for the glory of god! Or so they believed.

I am thinking maybe we need something like a pyramid project here in the U.S. Something that would require hard manual labor from a million or so people. Maybe a road, or a bridge, or a dam. Or maybe a pyramid! Give people some purpose, something to do besides meth.
