velvetvandle said the "three dimension" word.
Very true, VV. In our world, Time, Place, and People are the three important variables. I first heard about that from the late Afghan funnyman, Idries Shah, and have not noticed it to be wrong.
As for racism, you do understand that's a word of fairly recent manufacture (check old dictionaries), don't you? In the not so distant past, people of most cultures had no such concept, just as a fish probably has no concept of water. To have even suggested that such a term was needed as a label for anathematization would have caused a puzzled look.
Personally, I'm told I'm a racist and that I cannot help but be one, because of my skin color and my heritage. Who am I to argue with the all-knowing? Besides, if all cultures are equally deserving of respect, it tends to imply that cultures are expected to be different (else no such scolding would be necessary). Often very different! Viva la difference, in many cases (lock and load in others :-) The important thing is... cultural behavior arises from custom, which is caused by the behavior of the "Old Ones" who have passed down their behavior and custom, usually as a form of Common Law. Different cultures have different forms of customary behavior and law, which tend to arise from their genetic inheritance (if you believe in all that genetics stuff -- I'm not sure how much I do believe in it, but I sure notice some awful strange "coincidences"). Should we force fit all into one, or one into all? No!
Some cultures value what we call "freedom, independence, and self-sufficiency." In other cultures, to force someone to live under those conditions would be seen as extremely inhumane and cruel, even worse than a death sentence. Destroying cultures is not a good thing, whether it be hill tribes of S. East Asia, or honkees in Davenport, Iowa.
Libertarian sorts (of which I have been one), often forget that while we are certainly individuals, our collective existence is also very important because it was the communal context of our culture that allowed individualism to develop and thrive. Many other cultures, equally deserving of respect (etc.) would not have allowed that! Many actually killed the would-be individualists. Some still do.
As for stupidity... again there are three important things to consider.
1.) Stupidity (can't learn) is different from...
2.) Ignorance (has not learned), however...
3.) The willfully ignorant (have not learned and don't want to) eventually become stupid, as they lose the capacity for thought and learning. Duh!
Those who are allowed to persist in their folly (stupidity) oft become Wise, eh? Culling? Treat others with hospitality and respect, but should they attempt to stab you in the back once or twice, cull at will (or at least deport).
FYI another Magick Triad:
A wicked wytch asked a carpenter to remodel her kitchen.
The good man scratched his head for a while, then pushed the buttons on his pocket calculator and scribbled on his Palm Pilot.
"OK, lady," he finally said.
"Cheap, Good, Fast. You can have any two."
By the way, I've recently hit upon a break-through concept: YHWH as a Servitor, supported by energy defrauded from the unknowing and innocent.... fed by the negative energy of millions and millions of guilty masturbation orgasms and first sexual experience orgasms... and fluffed up even bigger still by all the HUMAN SACRIFICE performed in his name. This has inflated him from a two-bit dirt-spirit into somethink very akin to SATAN (tm). In fact, YHWH and SATAN (tm) can only be one and the same, as anyone who has read the Hateful book of Joshua will attest. I wonder if I should start a thread about this, or would certain interests have me booted out of the Forum?
Of course YHVH has THREE evil sides, one of which begins with a J, one of which begins with a C, and one of which begins with the letter I. Coincidence? You tell me!
Why am I here? Ah! Finally you ask!
I am here to suggest something "better than politics..." something with a real potential to Save Our Planet (SAP). Will people willingly embrace such a thing? Or will they need to be tricked or bribed into it.
All the beast,
Magister Lewdi
