Today's judiciary...dirty, wear black robes, and promote a liberal, pro pervert agenda!

Diaz also described a rather unusual gladiatorial sacrifice ritual. If a notable warrior was captured, he was given a chance to win his freedom. The warrior was armed with a "spear" made with rotted wood and with feathers attached to it instead of an obsidian spear head, which was customary. One of his legs was tethered with a length of rope to a stake in the ground to prevent escape. This warrior had to defeat 4 armed Aztec warriors to gain freedom. Only one instance was recorded were someone actually prevailed.

This seems rather descriptive of a modern trial or suit in court! We are tied down with a "pro se" label to limit our mobility, given inferior weapons to fight with (clerks and judges bend over backwards and give legal advice to attorneys all the time) and are told justice has prevailed for the common good!

Doesn't that tell the tale.
