Interesting note, I knew they were making the video but for some reason I thought the music video would be for another one of their songs.

Barbarians
Recently I have rekindled my love of history. Of course this has only reminded me that history can be pretty subjective. For instance there are a lot of groups who have been considered barbarians. Yet in hindsight barbarians were really any group who had different views than you. Which based on current American history books means people different than Romans. However many of these barbarians had their own developed culture, laws and religions. The biggest evidence of them matching the perceived view of a barbarian is that most had no writing system of their own, however considering that most were nomadic there is always the chance that writing systems have just not survived.
Thinking about it in a new light settlers of the Americas would be considered barbarians. In both cases people migrated to a land where others lived and conquering them due to goals such as gaining wealth, being persecuted, or just to start a new life. And in both cases settlers learned from The biggest difference I see is that Native American nations were not united and did not direct the new groups to attack each other as Rome had.

Air What!?!
I'm not sure if this has to do with a general lost of decency in America or really as humorous and funny as I find it. I have not even heard of it until recently and wonder how many people have heard of Air sex. I guess it should have been expected it. How many air guitar contest can there be without involving people's hormones. It seems all roads lead to people's bodily functions at some point.
I can say though, that discovering it was really not how I wanted to start a new year but that is what happened on my new years day. If what happens on the new years day affects the rest of the year I sure hope the celebrations I went to beforehand had more of an impact than the shock or reading that. There was a pamphlet on the car advertising an event with an Air Sex competition. Almost as interesting as the very fact there is a competition for it was the first rule list which basically was: Don't have sex for real! It worries me they had to list that at all.
