Not a lot on PubMed, due to the age of the work... the objections really started with the anthopologists pointing out the unlikelyhood of cannibalism actually occuring amongst the Fore.

I've seen stuff pointing it that since they banned cannibalism, kuru has decreased dramatically.

Yeah, if people would just stop bugging me to do my 'job' and help them with lit searchs/finding books for class/their children's science fair projects (note to employees, do not call me at 4 pm on a Friday looking for help with your child's project that is due this Monday.

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"....

So they're macho, so what, their economy's not in the toilet and they are much more aware of the stupidity of Iraq. Their head Bruce they got over there essentially decided to cooperate with Bush on his own to the overwhelming disapproval of his Bruces.
I used to be in a Yugoslavian band. We had a song that mentioned a roof deck. Yugoslavians call it a chardaka. Your old chardaka looked better, but then you haven't had time to make your new chardaka look nice.

I wouldn't recommend buying in many places right now, especially if you want to remain mobile. IN a perfect world I would've waited a few more months, but that lease comes up once a year so it was time.
My lease is up at the end of June- but I still think it's too expensive for me to buy here.

People who are disenfranchised will tend to feel bitter. They will cling to things they feel give them power. Sometimes the things they choose to cling to can sometimes be bad. This is not news. Obama is not being "elitist"; he's telling the truth. Everyone panders to these people during election years. What happens after the election is over: absolutely nothing. Grow up, America!

The condescending arrogance of Barak Hussein Obama, putting small town folks down because they love God and turn to him in difficult times. This latte liberal has just severely damaged if not destroyed his entire candidacy in one obnoxious speech.Let loose Sean and Rush, who will t5ear him to pieces.. 527 groups are altready preparing the 30 second commercials.

I think it's spectacular (and thanks for finding it, DWD). Not the least because of the shots of the Indiana town meeting audience he's speaking before, who like quite like the people he was talking about, and who recognize themselves in his words.
Of course, it's too long to actually show on television, so they'll tell everyone what he said, what to think about it, and why it doesn't really undo the damage.
Thank you. With the deer and turkeys and squirrels and three nesting pairs of cardinals and eagles overhead, there is no shortage of fauna or flora for that matter. Michigan is truly blessed when it comes to nature.
Father Marquette, the original explorer of this area, wrote his superiors, "Michigamee is a lovely place but too thickly forested to ever be of much use."
Maybe that is still true. (sigh)

Hey, let's all gather here Sunday morning and piss and moan about what Chris Matthews spews on his yak-fest. Oh, wait, I forgot. No One watches those crappy shows except people who have no lives.
See, in the real world, no body cares what an idiot like Chris Matthews has to say. His drivel is only carried on by wombats like you that think he has some kind of clout in the real world.
When 9 out of 10 people that you talk to couldn't tell you who the VP is, do you really think people like Matthews and Russert matter?
Again, what's so striking to me about Obama's response is that he doesn't flinch in the slightest. He underscores the points he made, ties them back in with his speech on race, smooths the rough edges a little and kicks it home like a winner.
I'll raise an OJ in his honor!

'Philosophical Foundations of Axelrodian Education,' originally a paper written for an academic conference, is a welcome, concise introduction to the theoretical principles of Axelrodian pedagogy and their significance in contemporary education.

NYTimes:
When Barack Obama decided in January that he would run for president in 2008 and quietly began calling up his staff members and close supporters to tell them so, the choice had many effects, but one of the most immediate and parochial was that it sent Obama’s chief political and media adviser, a Chicago consultant named David Axelrod, into his editing studio. For four years Axelrod has had camera crews tracking virtually everything Obama has done in public — chatting up World War II vets in southern Illinois, visiting his father’s ancestral village in western Kenya — and there were days when the camera crews have outnumbered the civilians.
But I don't have a clue what "Axelrodian" might mean.

IMHO:
Whenever a writer used a device like that their intention is twofold. The first portion is to elevate themselves into something much more important than they are by referencing something obscure and then pretending that it is pedestrian. The second portion of this exercise is to make the listening or reader feel inadequate because they fail to connect with the special knowledge the author is bringing to the conversation and referencing so casually implying that they should understand the reference.
Truth is that they make themselves into pompous windbags who are full of shit.

"Even the zombie's a comedian."
--SteveLG
I never thought I would be in love with a dead man, much less a zombie, but I am. He's a much better person dead than he was alive.

I find that most people around here are very generous with giving and accepting apologies.
Demanding them is almost never necessary and absolutely never effective.

Axelrod and his sister, Laura, grew up in Manhattan, the children of a psychologist father and a mother who worked as a journalist at PM, a left-wing newspaper of the 1940's...
I was sitting with Mrs DWD when Charly Gibson came on and I switched too late and he had announced the lead story: GE losing money. He said that GE owned ABC TV. I switched to NBC. Brian Williams was covering the same story and said that GE owned NBC too. Is that right? Do they own BOTH of these networks?
(Paranoia is a terrible thing, eh? When the corporations own the media, the media is the corporate media - WGG)

An odd factoid. Feudalism ended in Europe in April 2008!
from the wikipedia
Sark has often been considered to be the last feudal state in Europe[1], as fiefdom still exists, although it can be argued that Andorra, Liechtenstein and the Vatican City are feudal to some degree. However, in April 2008, the Privy Council approved the law passed by Sark replacing its feudal assembly with a fully elected one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sark

People who are constitutionally unable to participate in a discussion here for more than ten minutes without getting embroiled in some kind of stupid meta acrimony that leads to abusive language definitely belong on the list.

Hecate --
Fr William was sick in bed with the flu & voiceless when I returned -- I did NOT kiss him! Br Cuthbert is visiting family in Charleston (but I wouldn't kiss him, either -- the only man I ever kissed was my Novice Master when he was dying & one of our [female] oblates asked me to over the telephone while I was in Fr Anthony's cell -- he died of ALS, BTW)
I jumped in at the end -- what's the witness protection question?

Actually, Vicki deserved everything I wrote about her. She is one of the biggest self-rightous smug people on this site. She loves to dish out her own little brand of abuse, but when you fire back down and dirty, well then she rolls up and cries for a banning.
She is a frigging drama queen that loves the attention, despite the fact that she's a worn out trollop.
The price of rice a roni remains unchanged where I live.

The good prior is referring to
Matthew 18:21-22 (King James Version)
21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Puts the "turning the other cheek" in context.
