In fact they would be perfectly happy to see most of Africa & many other countries wiped off the face of the planet. Maybe the world's most prolific aid dealing power listens to their people??

"aid travels with a bomb, look out!"

most aid leads to further impovershment. aid is not even needed when the problems are so very artificial. not all of Ethiopia was or is starving, but the refugee tribes that are, are a different tribal group than those who run the country. it's strictly a Eugenics operation.

also, it's a small part of the population here that wants those africans dead, just like in Britain and France(and...). a rather large part of the american population has no idea where Ethiopia is.....

MikeRaphone: Once again, many thanks for the article. I printed it out and read it before going to bed.

"Now, a language isn’t just a body of vocabulary or a set of grammatical rules. A
language is a flash of the human spirit. It’s a vehicle through which the soul of each
particular culture comes into the world. Every language is an old growth forest of the
mind, a watershed of thought, an ecosystem of spiritual and social possibilities. When I
was born, there were 6,000 languages spoken on earth, but today fully half of those
6,000 languages are not being whispered into the ears of young children nor are they
being taught to school children. Which means, effectively, that unless something
changes, they are already dead."

However, we still learn and use Latin. And the Inquisition is still on

The fact is that there are less and less possibilities of being a human on this planet. And, if you're a human, this should concern you - because if you're born into this world, well... there's much less of a world to be born into. And much less of a person to become.

"Indigenous people are neither weakened by nostalgia nor are they sentimental. But they have nevertheless
forged through time and ritual a traditional mystic union with the earth. It’s not an idea
of being directly close to it in some self-conscious way but on a far more subtle
intuitive level. And that is the idea that the earth itself only exists because it is sustained
by human imagination. Now what does this really mean?
The young kid in the high Andes who believes that the mountain is a nurturing
spirit that will direct his destiny would be a profoundly different human being from a
kid from Pennsylvania raised to believe that a mountain is a pile of coal ready to be
mined. Is a mountain the domain of the spirit? Is it raw earth? That’s not the operative
question. The interesting observation in the cross-cultural context is how the belief
system changes the human being and mediates that relationship to a national role."

Well spoken.

Thanks again, and Much Peace to you all!

You are most welcome Tau,
It's a profound article, and sadly, also an accurate account of disappearance of cultural diversity so blatantly mirrored in the latest "Olympic" slogan- One world, one dream
