Cicero's Death

Perhaps this is the most touching episode ever. Drawn by the film "Rome", this video shows Marcus Tullius Cicero's death; I decided to create this video to praise a man who became a symbol in Rome and whose philosophy and maestry in writing and speaking are still studied today for their great relevance. This video points out the dramatic force and the courage of a man who accepts the death despite his huge fears and anguishes. All of this makes Cicero an extremely fascinating figure.

hard shit, took it like a man, or even, a stoic

I stood in front of the Rostra in Rome about 5 years ago and thought about Cicero, as that was where that animal Marcus Antonius nailed Cicero's head and hands. And then I quietly said "Marcus Tullius Cicero, you have not been forgotten."

@TheLoyalOfficer I considered this for awhile then it occured to me the depth of him and other talk radio's influence over conservative think makes them very much a part of the media. This isnt a good thing meerly an observation.

@angrydead Well, I would not consider Limbo to be part of "the media" - mainstream that is. But that does not make him correct, or good.

@TheLoyalOfficer noticed your discussion about Rush- I must say how he stated you'd been brainwashed by the media without considering that Rush is part of that. Such a loss of perspective will be the doom of the Republic.

Cicero teh Jester

[mdbum]

don't mean to be picky about the title description but Cicero was no philosopher and dind't draw or draft any teachings or ideas, but rather merely wanted to convey the philosophy of greece to the romans.

bitch would probably say "domine" vocative innit... inaccurate piece of shit

@SpadaccinoLuciano Cicero was one of the best literary masters of the ancient world, he is considered to be the best latin writer of his era, his prestigious way with words matched his academic ambitions.

His literary masterpieces are still read, after over 2000 years.

Rush Limbaugh is an uneducated former drug addicted conspiracy theorist, hired to shepherd the people who listen to his slander from one populist question to another.

Not quite so similar.

@SpadaccinoLuciano Pffft - I listened to Limbo for years. But he is now a total neocon/Wall Street/imperial shrew, and has no credentials with me politically whatsoever.

And I didn't need the media to tell me that. I just listened to him!
