It seems a dangerous thing to tell people they believe x or y because they are under duress. Especially if they have held these beliefs throughout their living memory. Do you think a back-handed comment like Obama's will change their mind? How would you like someone to casually say to you, 'You've been deluded your whole life.' And many of these people are Democrats

Oh, and links please on the cannibalism/kuru link, because I'm still reading that it did.

Start digging, because it took me a while to find it originally... pre-www stuff just isn't as accessible as it could be.
Here's the thing.
...
Those are the main points.
yeah, I had read a lot of stuff that seemed well researched that linked cannibalism to kuru, but even Dr Gajdusek had accidental innoculation, not cannibalism, at the top of his list in the early reports.

A,
When I had to move Miss Thing, I brought her and all her "stuff" (bed, litter box, food and water, toys) and put them in one room and shut the door. Let the movers bring stuff into the house, but not that room. Then I opened up the room and let her come out. She still freaked. No good way to move cats.

Especially if they have held these beliefs throughout their living memory. (And you would know this how?) Do you think a back-handed comment like Obama's will change their mind? (WTF is a "Back-handed comment?" And how do you perceive this as being a negative. In truth, there is a LOT of hatred and animosity out here in the hinterlands. Even patient teachers are guilty of exhibiting this on occasion. The frustration of watching the town you were born in go to hell is overwhelming at times) How would you like someone to casually say to you, 'You've been deluded your whole life.' (And who in the fuck said that, stranger?) And many of these people are Democrats (Yes, and damned good ones IN SPITE of the fact that the National Democratic Party has failed them time after time after time.

QUESTION: Mr. President, you mentioned the prospect that your successor would be dealing with the war. You'll be making your first trip to Vietnam in roughly a week. Some people are looking at the war as another Vietnam War. Are they wrong to do so? And, if so, why?
BUSH: I think they are. I think they are. First of all, Iraq is -- after the overthrow of the tyrant, voted on a constitution that is intended to unite the whole country. And then they had elections under that constitution where nearly 12 million people voted for this unity government.
Secondly -- which is different from Vietnam -- secondly, in terms of our troops, this is a volunteer Army. Vietnam wasn't a volunteer Army, as you know. And in this volunteer Army, people -- the troops understand the consequences of Iraq in the global war on terror.
He is a presidential candidate. He must be careful what he says.

Thanks, and I agree. It took her a few weeks, but she did eventually get comfortable here. Cats just don't like change.
Long story, but my mother, an RN before she became a medical social worker, was fascinated by kuru. (Two of her best friends were anthropologists in the Samoan islands.) There was a book, "Laughing Death" or "Laughing Sickness", that she tried to get me to read. Alas, I never did.
Old book, probably thirty years back, but maybe available via abebooks or a good university library.

By November 2003, America's defeat in Iraq had become so etched in concrete that Israel's former prime minister, Ehud Barak, gave Cheney the benefit of his experience as a career soldier: "You cannot win an occupation. All you can do now is choose the size of your humiliation."

Good fucking grief. America is so fucked up.
If anyone is keeping track of such mundane matters I went to a new doctor today (must be close to seventy) and he did not play around. X-Rayed both shoulders, one ankle, looked at the X-Rays of the neck and injected both shoulders with steroids, prescribed a prosthetic for both feet(Fallen arches apparently), prescribed a new medication for arthritis for my back, scheduled an MRI on the worst shoulder and plans on investigating the back with an eye to doing something soon.

I don't know, it seems to be happening right now. And if we lived in NO, we might well be in a third world (and not developing, so I think third world is accurate) country. Our airplanes are unsafe because of lax regulation, no health care, I read today that nuclear plants have been buying off brand parts for their reactors, the government spies on us w/o warrants, and the Dems won't do anything to stop the imperial presidency.

Now, who is being just plain silly? Do you live in the situation that Mr Obama is referencing? I understand perfectly what he is talking about and I do not even disagree mildly with what he said.

We tried selling stuff on EBay. We had nothing that was too valuable and even when we undercut the normal price nobody bit. Furthermore, it actually costs money to rent selling space at EBay, and many sellers are actually buying new items in the hopes that the free market will "fail," work against its own best principles, and somebody will be willing to pay more than the seller paid for a widely available retail item. And then there's fencing.

they banned cannibalism long *before* the outbreak of kuru, and they still don't have any evidence that the Fore practiced cannibalism (their neighbours did, but never got kuru, funny, that)
Kuru *demonstrably* disappeared with the introduction of "modern" hygiene and a shift in funerary practices.
The Fore id not have a cultural history of cannibalism, claims that they secretly practiced it during the ban are suspect for that, among many other, reasons.... reasons that are more obvous to anthropologists than epidemiologists.
But canibalism is "sexy"....
