I've been reading up on the man. He conquered more of the world than any conqueror before or after him. And, he lived in a tent out in the middle of nowhere. He was brutal when he had to be, yet was the most religiously tolerant leader ever before and in some ways after. He would hold sporty debates in which a Priest, Rabbi and Oman would discuss the merits of their religion. In the end, the Mongols would say believe what you want, but God cannot be contained in a room. God is everywhere at all times. Like the Native Americans, they worshiped the sky which all people reside under. Women were given the outmost respect and had a lot of power in the new Kahn unifying civilization, more so than any other ancient civilization and even many modern societies. All of this, while the Catholic Church was burning people at the stake for their beliefs and to make a point who's God would be tolerated who's wouldn't be. I'm writing all of this, because I'm on my way to ABQ from Las Vegas to meet with a contingent of Mongolian delegates and artists. It's odd, because I have been saying I want to give out a Bugsy Kahn Award to the most forcefully creative digital artist at the PAH-FEST. Bugsy Siegel saw Las Vegas in the middle of the desert when no one else did. Genghis Kahn saw a great civilization from the isolation of his tent. They both acted on it and made it happen. I've been trying to find a descendent of Mr. Siegel and Mr. Kahn to give the award. I received an e-mail about Mongolian Artists coming to New Mexico. I don't think this is a coincidence so I am hustling my butt to NM. I'll let you know how it goes.
