Abby and Annnie for short.
I don't know much about the Yequana (who live in Venezuela). However, as a missionary in Guatemala, I saw many "simple, dirt-floored huts" and got a taste of the "traditional ways of life." It is not such a great life.
Once, I participated in a health and welfare survey of the local Indian population. I remember interviewing one family who lived in a "simple, dirt-floored hut." They had three living children; another four children had died in infancy. I was told that in that particular region of highland Guatemala, ten children died every day from measles and other childhood diseases. Crippling, blinding, and disfiguring diseases were common, as was malnutrition.
I would urge these green nitwits to spend five years living the "traditional" way before touting it as the solution to our ills. Frankly, I doubt any of them would last five weeks.
Conspiracy theory: Proctor & Gamble or Carpet Cleaners of America are behind this....... hmmmm (scratching head)
I lived in Mexico for a time and I can tell you that no one voluntarily lives like this fool is describing. They would think you crazy if you told them that living in a hut with a dirt floor was superior to living in a regular house.
What a load of crap!

How darling!
There are lots of Stacies around. It's pretty common. Annastasia is not.
I always said, if you want strong women never name them an "E" name. Nicknames yes, full names no.
Good choices!
Using western-style diapers, rather than split pants, are seen as a status-symbol by young Chinese parents.
You can get into trouble if, while walking your doggie, the critter decides to stop in front of an envirowacko's house to do the very same thing. You see, the "hierarchy of life," as far as a liberal is concerned, looks like this: At the bottom of the list, human beings -- followed by so-called "animals" (aka "companions") -- followed by trees and shrubs at the top of the list. I recall a news item in which a New York doctor stormed out of his home and shot a dog who was peeing on "his" tree, even though the tree was on a public sidewalk. [Never mind that the dog family has been on this earth longer than the human race!] I don't imagine that human babies would fare any better with such green-nazis.
Scrappleface, right?
Speaking of "primitive worship" did anyone see Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in 'Trippin' last week? I heard it was insane. These two pampered Hollywood wierdos were saying how great it was to "take a poo in the woods hunched over lika an animal".
Guess my parents missed that one. Not only did I get an "E" name, it's a boy's "E" name. hmmmm...
It is funny when wackos think of alternatives to promote that other societies are putting into the move along category. I swear I think some of these enviro wackos are just adults who were never supervised as children.
Like filth, disease, pestilence and death.
As long as we're getting in touch with our true nature let's get rid of dentistry as well.
A cogent energy policy, something the Democraps, (see they could be processed into oil as well), on't comprehend, would use every iota of creativity to solve our energy situation.
Windmills, OTEC, Lunar fusion energy should all be pursued.
Sad, but true!
That reminds me of one young woman I met in Totonicapan, Guatemala. As I recall, she was just fifteen. Her teeth were so bad and were giving her such problems that she had them all pulled.
