I think you have some very well thought out objectives, and you articulate them pretty clearly, however, they are in my view Utopian. There will all ways be nation-states, devolution of them, balkanization,.....and so on. To end these things would be to end human nature......both the dark and the good....it just won't happen my friend.

EntheogenicPeace said: The following is what the American Anthropological Association said of the book published to discredit her studies of (pre-colonial) Somoan culture: "poorly written, unscientific, irresponsible and misleading." It shouln't be surprising that you stand where you do on this issue, though, given your strong dislike & distrust of science and history.
Of course they hated that book, she was one of their darlings and they were hoodwinked by her. By the way, what was "scientific" about her "research"? Were there any experiments? She reminds me of Sigmund Fraud. Science, I love and respect science greatly. Up until very recently a bachelors degree in Anthropology was a B.A. not a B.S. It may still be so.Quote:
When, one a very important & relevant scientific issue, you have the following on one side... the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Joint Science Academies’ Statement of 2007, the U.S. National Research Council, the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Institute of Physics, the American Astronomical Society, the Federal Climate Change Science Program, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Stratigraphy Commission of the Geological Society of London, the Geological Society of America, the American Chemical Society, & the The Institution of Engineers Australia... while "think tanks" comprised of psuedo-scientists created by & largely funded by ExxonMobil on the other side; we know who you side with.
Please, stay on topic. I have dealt with this elsewhere. Remember the NASA scientist Hansen who went all over the place screaming that he was being censored? Well he wasn't, his research had to be restated and he is a Soros puppet. You can be a sucker if you want but I don't have to.

"Not even the lives of the elderly, pregnant women or innocent children were spared. We have never in our history seen such serious extremes." - Guatemalan Council of Catholic Bishops
80-85 percent of the victims of Guatemala's "civil war" were Mayan Indians. Ríos Montt, as well as six of his of his top nine generals, were attended the School of the Americas.
George Orwell had you in mind when he wrote, "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."
But the question was, and you avoid this, were a majority of Guatemalans indigenous before that or not? And is this guy? And what does this have to do with his theft from the US? Nothing. Unfocused, inattentive and scattershot blather. That last sentence of the penultimate paragraph is incomprehesible. Probably irrelevant as well. Did you write it yourself? Nice linkage too, by the way.

You asserted that I hate science, as part of your personal attack. S'OK, I don't mind, but you seem to consider what she did "scientific". Somebody else had grossly different observations. I would call neither science but the more recent observations certainly call Ms Mead's into question, as well as her "scientific" conclusions vis a vis nature versus nurture. Off topic, there will be no more on this here.

I believe Bolivia is the only Latin American country with a majority indigenous population. You're right, Guatemala didn't have a majority fully indigenous population... even before their (recent) severe repression & mass murder in the regimes following the overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. I never said they (fully indigenous) were (a majority)... I said it didn't matter what skin color or ethnicity he is. He worked hard to make a better life for his family & I commended that. If there is blame to be placed on someone for disobeying the laws, it's the employer who hired him & paid him... as the man in the story wouldn't have known them.
But he is a descendant of hegemonic invaders. Where Oh Where do you draw the line?

every time a new thread gets started, members should start a pool on how many posts it'll take before entheogenicpeace is off on some chomsky tangent that bears no relevance at all to the original topic of the thread.

As a standing bet I'll put it at 3. By the third post he/she is gone.

how any of this man's present problems are his fault, and not his employer's, considering he didn't know the language or the laws?
He knew that it was illegal for him to butt in front of everyone else patiently waiting in line to immigrate legally. And now that he got caught he cries foul of the consequences?

I've been following this thread, but still cannot decide which side I support. The part of me that opposes the government being allowed to seize private property (money in this case) is warring with the part of me that dislikes illegal aliens.
