Hi J,

Do you agree with Malinowski assertion that there are civilizations that are above, more safe, more developed, less crude, less reliant on magic than the Naciremas? Do you believe there is power and guidance in irrelevance? Do you think man has mastered his practical difficulties? Do you think man has made advancements?

I Don't at all!
I don't think civilization has advanced at all.
Mankind is not progressing, it's regressing.
Now the Earth is in jeopardy because of us. (global warming)
Earth is sick, it has a man made fever! Hello!
Is there civility in Iraq, or Africa, or anywhere, or in America's invasive progression?
What civilization is higher than us?
Man has gone the wrong way, and effectively we find ourselves more precarious than ever.
So much for magic.
Maybe we should try real for a change.

Only my thoughts,
