Naturally this thread makes me uncomfortable.

LOL. Well, I thought it was relevant. A lot of overreaction is going to take place with the disease.

All cultures are "equal" none are better than others, only different. If you believe any one culture to be "better" than another you have commited the crime of "ethnocentrist thought". If culture A makes a habit of blowing snot all over the place while gleefuly beating animals to death and culture B has the curious habit of daily bathing, and spending billions per year on SPCA's, these cultures are equal. It's true, I took an Anthropology course recently and that's what I learned, got an A.

I too used to have bouts of "ethnocentrist thought", I was re-educated so now I know better...
