3. Nero?
Edited on Wed Oct-15-03 06:24 AM by Muesli
Nero was quite intelligent en extremely cultured. In addition he supported the people instead of the upper classes.

Although probably corrupted by his power, he was in no way the monster the ancient historians proclaimed him to be. Ancient history is often propaganda and ancient historians were often aristocrats. That's why they depicted Nero, a peoples person, as a mad emperor.

5. Welcome to DU! There is a faction that believes that Nero
may have had something to do with the fire that he did nit fiddle to, but sang (according to Tacitus) The Capture of Troy. And, due to the new land available, he was able to build his 'Domus Aurea (Golden Palace).

9-11? He also placeated his people by sending minority religions (Xtians) into the games.

Here's a good t5 minute history of Nero: http://www.roman-empire.net/emperors/nero-index.html

6. Hi,
Edited on Wed Oct-15-03 10:41 AM by Muesli
That faction is obviously wrong (Caraldini I believe). There's another that believes the Xtians actually did it, that would be nice for the comparison of Nero and Bush.

But it doesn't matter.

I think Bush would compare himself with Vespasian (if he knew who it was)

4. Reincarnation of Caligula
which means "Little Boots", the name his fathers soldiers gave him as a child, when he was paraded around military camps as a pretend soldier.

7. Gonna have to go with Satan
Just see the sig line, even though Hicks was referring to Bush 41, I think it holds true with 43 as well.

11. I vehemently disagree with every element of your poll!
You erroneously figure that Bush* is, in some way, human.

17. To quote Fox Mulder.... This is America. Just because you get the most
votes, doesn't mean you win.
