Ed and Jed are correct stating this group should focus on science. Cultural
studies are a science.
Allow me to correct my wording to.. One "rooted" in evil and one "rooted" in good. The subject is the difference in cultures and my opinion the two
cultures differ because of religious doctrine.
The analogy I drew regarding truck drivers came from a report by a medical
team from Texas Medical Center Houston returning from a summer in Uganda Africa.
They were overwhelmed by the suffering of the people and their medical needs.
The soldiers of dictator Ida Amin had raped and infected a large segment of the
women with AIDS, adding to an already medical nightmare.
One of the medical team overheard a native use the analogy to explain the
difference in the two cultures. I thought it profound in its simplistic
view.
I will not make an apology for expressing my views on cultures. Let facts
be submitted to a candid world !
