Ceasar was a cunt anyways, Just like most all Roman Leaders. except for a few of course. The reason was, of course, that they had no income, so they had to make laws that would give them lots of extra money when they were in power.

Read the lyrics to "Ballad of the Carpenter" by Phil Ochs for some about it. If you're particularly interested in it, you might want to pick up a copy of "The Socialist Tradition: From Moses to Lenin" at your library. The author is pretty right / moderate and doesnt agree with most of the people he writes abotu in the book, but treats them pretty fairly still.
