At Great Risk

In my current fascination with Angry Arab's site -- you can actually pick up a huge amount of interesting and important info there -- at great risk to life and limb, at least blogging-wise, I just now posted a comment there. And it's weird. I had the distinct sensation of having suddenly jumped down onto the blood-soaked sands of the Roman Colosseum in one of its heydays, during a gladiatorial contest of hundreds, while I was armed only with a computer mouse.
