Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.
I listened to today's episode. That one evoked more of a response than the other 2. What I felt more than anything was anger at the interference of missionaries. To want to help people grow crops and have clean water is one thing, but to try to take away part of a culture's identity is unforgiveable.
I totally agree! Missionary work seems to be a double edged sword most of the time.
But, I digress.....
It's the anthropologis in us. I can;t stand to see long standing tradition torn down because someone from another continent says "it's wrong". Observe, but don't intefere.
