Mike... somewhat near our current topic...see if you can explain this. I have probably visited 80 to 100 remote African villages and another 50 remote villages in Brazil. None of these villages would have anything worth a hoot (as far as I could tell). But If one person or family in that village acquired some wealth to make them of a higher status than the rest of the village, then that person or family would be brought down to the level of the rest of the village. (usually hut burned or crops and animals destroyed) This is what we are facing in the middle east....we have gotten too far ahead of the rest of the village. This kind of thinking is neither rational or logical but it does take place. This is what we are facing. I have never read about this social pattern in any anthropology journal, but it does exist. Regards, Jerome
