In case you don’t read the news, The Guardian ran a story today about a plane surveying the Amazon jungle which discovered a tribe yet to be contacted. The news about this made me sort of upset in a way. This tribe managed to go undisturbed by western civilization for so long and now, right-wing christians, governments and anti-hunger/poverty organizations will have their way with these people until they are just as fucked up as the rest of the world. So while I am excited that there are still people out there living their own culture, I know that this discovery has doomed their way of life. I can hear the sound of a cash register dinging in the minds of businessmen all over. Next month there will be a McDonalds and a Starbucks, U2 will play a show in the big hut in the middle.
