Western Culture VS Indigenous Culture

It is pretty funny, but I'm not sure if it is funnier than when I once was correcting a letter and I used "incontinent" like this, "after drinks I was so incontinent" #incoherent :lol:

I give a little ecology talk at a popular nature preserve. My normal talk is "the reef is a living organism that provides the habitat for the fish and other marine life". Organism became orgasm, before a couple of hundred shocked tourist. When it happened a second time a few months later. I stopped using organism. I blame MFC and ACF for the corruption.

:lol: I remember a TV blooper years ago when a child answered a kids' quiz with "an orgasm is any living thing."

There is a lovely story of a Polish fighter pilot being interviewed on the radio by the BBC in the 60s. He was describing his maneuvering and pursuit of two "fukers" in his heavily accented English. The British interviewer tried to clarify for the audience that "fukers" were the Fock Wulf 190s, when the Polish fighter pilot explained, "oh no, these fukers were Me 109s" :mrgreen:

Reading HiGirls earlier post about the three south/central American cultures, the Mayan, Inca, & Aztec, I realized that I know very little of indigenous cultures, the exception being that of the Ohlone peoples of northern and central California which I studied in junior collage.

What I do know, and what spurred me to jump in to the conversation, is that us/US ppl need to find our lost reverence for life as an interconnected web in which all living things and what supports that life are cultural to our continued existence. We live in a world, that in great measure we, (walking apes) control. We are the first life forms to hold the power to destroy, or to nurture our future. If we continue to cause ourselves petty distractions as the hatred for our fellow man, the quest to mold the world to suit our convenience, the indiscriminate plunder of resources, while ignoring everything else, we are doomed.

What indigenous cultures must have surely shared was an understanding that waste and hatred, in what ever form, for the other living creatures that shared their world and that which supported it, would have consequences. We have seemingly lost that understanding – relying on the magic of promised technology, or simply not giving a fuck, because we have always been alright so far.

If we fail to regain some reverence for that which is more powerful than we will ever be, we will not be alright!
