Willing to use a totem to 

a) defend the site from any kind of enemies

b) promote peaceful interactions

c) bring our mojo back 

 

which three animals do you think we should use?

I'm sure that's more than possible.

 

I can be a moderator if you want.

 

 

Let's see how things go for a while, eh?

amazing facts about goats:

Their horizontal and almost rectangular pupils give goats a field of vision of 330°, meaning that they can see virtually all but their own backs without turning their head.

What about an Eagle? Sees things a mile off, sharp talons but sees above the forest and takes the higher perspective? 🤔 😎

the eagle is a spectacular bird too, but I am rather fond of hawks because they were used as an emblem against dictatorship in a song, "I am the son of a female Hawk" also hawks defend their families against Eagles, the see 4 colours and have also ultraviolet vision. They use the conceal and attack method which in my opinion indicates Intelligence. 

There's no matress for me to lay on,
Or even a light for me to read,
Your sweet letter, ah mother
It's summer and it's cold
My cell is,
1 meter x 2 meters, ah mother
But I won't live bowed down on my knees
I am the son of a falcon (wrong translation the greek song says Hawk)
So what if they wound me?
I can withstand the fires
Mom, don't be sad, mom, don't cry
I lay down,
A bloody piece of clothing to rest on,
The moist cement, ah, mother
In the cell next to me,
They brought some brother
How much longer will this go on? Ah, mother
 
also sang by the national singer of Greece (it is a song of resistance and fighting for your ideas) that even Frank Sinatra listened to live and was speechless and said "where does his voice come from?" or something like that, Stelios Kazantzidis. now if you'll excuse me I will dance the rembetiko because ah mother.......

the quotation:

Ο Φράνκ Σινάτρα, είπε κάποτε, όταν άκουσε τραγούδια του Καζαντζίδη : 'Εάν αυτός ήταν στην Αμερική, θα είχε κάνει μεγαλύτερη καριέρα από εμένα' !

Frank Sinatra once said when he heard Kazantzidis songs: 'If he was in America, he would have made a greater career than me'!
 
according to various sources, these two men met again and again and according to an article I read ages ago, Frank was initially very interested to listen this Greek singer and came here -initially - to listen to him live (Stelios didn't need a microphone to sing anything really his voice was too loud or loud enough already. only a big singer like Sinatra would understand what it meant so I believe there's truth in these sources.)
