Sorry; religion was invented before there were priests, so it wasn't...
Racist claptrap is OT on SAP. Take it elsewhere...
Or for that matter, politically correct moralizing?
One of the lessons of history, and pre-history, is that when the
resource base shrinks, demagogues arise with rapid solutions.
As implied in another thread, the kind of violence LeBlanc in "Constant
Battles" outlines goes back a long ways.
And as Steven Pinker noted in "The Blank Slate" the myth of the noble
savage has a lot of inertia behind it that results in unwarrented
dismissability such as your comment. But that dont make it go away, and
it wont make it stay away.
I dont advocate racial profiling; we have the scientific tools to
identify which individuals pose threats, and which can make positive
contributions. However, they exist in different ratios in different
gene pools. There are enough alpha males aspiring to leadership among
the Native Europeans, that if downsizing, outsourcing, and economic
hardship threaten their lifestyle, this kind of leadership will emerge
willing to do whatever is necessary to reduce the perceived social
predation by non-whites. No matter how draconian.
If we want to reduce the violence and live in peace, we'd do well to
examine the evidence from the people who did that and lived that way-
the Chalcolithic cultures of SE Europe like the Vinca, Petresti, &
Cucuteni. Altho, I dont think you'd like to think about how they did
that either.
