...I don`t think we get it....NO ONE seriously believes we are any kind of direct descendants of the Assyrians. That`s an impossibillity. How in heaven`s name do you preserve that kind of "purity"....at a crossroads of the world? The ancient Assyrians certainly didn`t bother about mixing their blood...what we really mean, the Christians among us, is that since turning Christian, if we ever did, and ONLY marrying other Christians...even to the point of disowning children who married outside,...we ASSUME that all those who call themselves "Assyrians" in the modern era ONLY married Christians (and to show you how ridiculous this whole thing is...many of us won`t even acknowledge the marriage of a child to any Christian BUT an "Assyrian" one)

...this is merely to call bigots and racists "Assyrians" just because of their racism and bigoted notions of ethnic or blood purity.

...But we`re so poor in everything else, no one wants to burst this last bubble of ours. Honestly now...can we be REAL!

And by the time we are down to the last Assyrian, the world will most definitely take notice. But we will have all the archives of Sargon Dadesho's satellite tv channel and now also the Ishtar TV and all the other community cable shows... Anybody remember the Margoulis' show on Bay Area community tv? It always featured the wife lip-synching to an original song... They were great, don't know what ever happened to them. I don't even recall if I'm naming them correctly.

>Perhaps we should breed Assyrians... The Assyrian churches should start a breeding campaign, pressuring Assyrian couples to have a minimum of 4 children... If every Assyrian couple had (at a minimum) 4 children we would exponentially multiple within one generation. But how are we going to get Tyaris to mate with Qochasnayis or (the more daunting task) of any eastern rite assyrian with a chaldean... Oy oy! Mara d'reesha shooreila, I say.
