Santo Says...

"Since the order of the world is regulated by death, perhaps it is better for God we do not believe in him and we fight with all our might against death, without raising our eyes heavenward where he keeps silent."
~ Albert Camus, The Plague

Silly Santo, Death is the one horseman you CAN'T defeat! The others are byproducts of the development of agriculture, so you might have a chance against war, famine or pestilence.

Ah, but can there be anything more noble than the lone luchador battling the Horseman of Death at the dawn of the Apocalypse? Of course he'll lose, we all must, but in the battle is the very poetry of life.

Nicely put about the other three being the 'byproducts of agriculture' - hadn't thought of it that way before.

However, most lucha matches are best 2 out of 3 falls, so I figure Santo stands a good chance of scoring a pin in the second.

The whole agriculture thing comes from the current book I'm reading, "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. The entire thing seems to consist of a conversation between a man and a talking gorilla. The gorilla instructs the man in the what is wrong with human culture, how it is destroying the world and how both might be saved. It's really thought provoking so far, forcing me to look at the world in slightly different ways.
