Zen,
I am guessing that your traffic as increased as well, as your blog was mentioned too. Did you see an increase in your traffic from Michelle’s mention?

Michelle,
Keep up the great work, my dear!!

Sir

You are so famous! Your blog is being copied in several languages and printed verbatim. Girl, you have a serious lawsuit in the making. They sometimes change the name of your column to “Michevellie,” “Michelle Fille Macho,” “Muchacha Macho,” “Bad Como a Cadela,” “??????? ???????????.”

The interest is in trying to figure out who you really are. Speculations ranges from a U.S. government misinformation site to a direct alien connection. Some actually believe that their blog answers don’t blog to your site because they go directly to the US government intelligence agencies. While an equal number believe that they go directly to some alien ship information processing center.

I. “What choices did he have?”
Hercules did not have a choice. He was hated by Hera as soon as she found out he was the son of Zeus. So the Queen of the gods had it in for him. He would spend the rest of his life on earth reacting to whatever she had planned for him.

This posed several philosophies for mortal man: He could look at the story of Hercules and conclude that Fatalism was man’s fate. Fatalism is the belief that man is powerless to do anything other than what he actually does. Hercules was certainly powerless to do anything but react to what Hera threw his way.

II. “What would you say was his greatest mistakes in choosing one thing over another?
Hercules greatest mistake was in trying to atone for the murder of his wife and children. He was driven mad by Hera so he was not at fault. However, he would not have been aware of the fact that he had been put in that state of mind by another.

III. “What would you say was his greatest mistake in choosing one thing over another?”
I don’t think that you could say that he made a mistake. Whatever he did, or did not do, did not matter in the scheme of things. Hera would have adjusted the situation to insure that the outcome would be what it was. If the gods have it in for you what can you actually do to change what they have in mind for you to experience?

IV. “Could he have chosen an easier way of life than he did? Whatever path he chose Hera would have interceded to bring him back to the path she had chosen for him.

V. “Would you say he sometimes acted precipitously in the handling of the 12 tasks?”
What did it matter how he handled the 12 tasks or if he even chose to not answer them? Hera was in charge of the direction of his life and she was intent on making him suffer until he died.

VI. His “bad temper” was caused by Hera’s manipulation of every key moment in his life. Who could maintain an even temper under constant bombardment of bad breaks.

VII. True he had no control over his emotions. Hera would have continued to push him had he remained calm.

VIII. Anyone implying that Hercules made mistakes, is saying that he/she is unaware of the difference between events that just happen to a person and events that are planned and calculated to provoke, produce or cause a particular set of circumstances.

IX. “What would I do differently if I were him?”
It would depend on whether I were aware of who was causing my dilemma. If I were him, it would depend on my state of mind during the events. I would like to think that I would not have been as violent. However, that would not have actually changed the results, if Hera was bent on my death occurring and me suffering towards it, it would have occurred maybe a bit differently, but certainly it would have occurred.

X. “What advice would I give Hercules?” Being a logical being I would first weight whether my advice would do him any good. Since I know that Hera would just get her way in another manner, I would not risk, her wrath by telling him who was the cause of his dilemma. If I didn’t know that a god was manipulating his life, I would give him plenty of advice and wonder out laud, why it wasn’t working.

anonz, on a less personal note, Madaline is warning you to watch your back from cronies you’re mistaking for true friends, it’s one thing sharing with us, it’s another to help them ‘save face’ as fallen Republicans when they may just have more than one of those (faces). Just my two cents…proceed as you wish. & I have asked twice and Madaline once, so are you going to tell us the why behind your aversion to voting for the O man??

Ciao for now, Zen Lill
