It's kind of a moot debate as to who's better off. If we all of a sudden became hunter gatherers we'd be in as much trouble as if they were suddenly integrated into modern Indian society. Just too much of a gap. <br /><br />Reading one of the descriptions of contact reminds me of Margaret Atwood's last couple of books.A Free Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038930031019179647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-88898027183244693092010-04-06T14:58:45.709-04:002010-04-06T14:58:45.709-04:00As you said, it's almost unbelievable that gro...As you said, it's almost unbelievable that groups like this still exist. <br /><br />Shame their friendly waggle has never had the chance to catch on as a greeting in mainstream culture.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796345438886867796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-75863015464522150492010-04-06T10:20:04.302-04:002010-04-06T10:20:04.302-04:00I was going to agree that everyone should stop dec...I was going to agree that everyone should stop deciding how other people would be "better off" and let them be, but then I read your comment on green genitals and now I'm grossed out.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940936362201799176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-26026537790052896072010-04-06T10:07:29.368-04:002010-04-06T10:07:29.368-04:00The men actually waggle their penises at others in...The men actually waggle their penises at others in a friendly greeting. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that redness in the area of one's genitals often means sexy time while green in those areas are often bad news bears.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768654376657640904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-29236809748894263062010-04-06T09:58:06.293-04:002010-04-06T09:58:06.293-04:00It would have been funier if you had thrown out ra...It would have been funier if you had thrown out random ideas as to why they only like red.
