It's the Greeks, not the Mayans

Although this essay is written from a secular perspective, it's refreshing to see writing not bound by the canons of multiculturalism:

"I don’t care if the Maya civilization did collapse. I don’t think we should shed a single retrospective tear. It might be interesting to know how or why it fell—whether from war or drought or disease or soil exhaustion—but I don’t much care about that either. Because quite frankly, as civilizations go, the Mayan civilization in Mexico didn’t amount to much."
