Debbie Did Dallas back in the ’70’s but now a whole new
generation of baby boomers who probably were too busy protesting to even enjoy
the pleasures of the famed porn film are doing Petra, and the Terra Cotta
Warriors and the Wall. It’s a kind of travel porn in which people fuck the
Seven Wonders of the World. At least that’s what it sounds like. You do the Taj Mahal. You do Kilamanjaro. You do Machu Picchu. You do Stonehenge, You do
Victoria Falls. You do the Pyraminds,
providing they don’t end up doing you.. It’s a virtual gang bang of history. You do the Forbidden City in an exchange program where a bunch of your Chinese
counterparts does the Empire State. Then you all meet up the half way point and
do the Galapagos and the Fjords. You have always wanted to do
Antarctica, but not as much as the Grand Canyon or the Great Barrier Reef. All of this doing is one way to combat the problem of mortality. What better way to deal with the limited amount of time you have left on earth than to fit in as many sites as possible. It’s unbearable to think that you might leave the earth without seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors for example, though there’s no way to store up the spoils. They won’t do you any good once you’ve departed.
