Sacrilege! Have you asked yourself "How great a warrior THAT king must be
to have lived so long?". Do you not realize that a WISE ruler does not
squander his resources. Is it not glorious that HIS troop hold him in such
HIGH HONOR? You call his men cowards because they have not challenged him?
Maybe they have, and none have survived! It is a story told to puqpu' to
inspire them to be more like *B'awulv.

We all know how the Federation attempts to make use look foolish and weak.
I too cry out in anger that the epic of *B'awulv has been reduced to a
foolish story which the earthers can laugh at. My blood SCREAMS with the
desire that it be restored to it's true form. Yes, Andrew
<[email protected]>, restore our warrior's deeds to us, be
honorable to his memory....
