...course the happy people have always been off in the country somewhere, grooving on the land and one another; there seems little reason to me why anyone whose head is really together would stick around a place like this.

And he argues further that Judas Iscariot may have been a Zealot as well. The two "thieves" who were crucified along with Jesus were, as the original Greek attests, really "brigands"-a common epithet for the Zealots. Even...
