MAKING CONTACT


Today I saw photos of a tribe of folks who supposedly have had no contact with anyone in the outside world. Hard to imagine anyone that could have been missed by telemarketers, junk mail, cable tv, and taxes. I noticed they had spears drawn, which is pretty much my reaction when my peace and quiet is interrupted by unannounced guest. Good lord, how long will it take before the networks set up a reality show in the area? hmmm, lets see....Trading witch doctors?...or perhaps Clean Hut?........can't you just see Neicy Nash in leopard skin talkin to a bone collector?

"Hey baby!, look here....do you really need to keep ALL these ugly shrunken heads? Lets make a deal. You agree to let me put all these out in the jungle sale and I'll guarantee to make this crib so hot you'll have the local chicks shakin it like Shakira. ......S..H..A..K..I..R..A..!!!!, you know the gal with the hips that don't lie"....Neicy demonstrates the moves for him....."Whoa baby...no dude...me no likey.....back off brother !!!!"


You know all this is possible and that society just won't or can't leave these people alone.
We have satellites that could follow every single move they made day or night. Listening devices that could be placed without them even knowing it, and listening to them would be more beneficial to us than imposing upon them. Perhaps that would be ethically or morally wrong to study them, but kinder than bringing in our trash, noise and disease.

Who am I kidding?..... Surely they have noticed a change in their climate, air quality, noise level, and disappearance of flora and fauna. They must know that something out there beyond their understanding or control is responsible for these changes. They just haven't met any of the responsible parties.

Wouldn't it be something if we cleaned planet first and actually improved the quality of their lives without ever coming face to face with them. Wouldn't that be the best case scenario for all perhaps the ultimate contact?

Well, you know that there are groups of christians that want to make those 'heathens' lives better. Teach them about god and all that crap.

You know, before the Muslims or some other religious cult gets to them. So they have simple lives, so what, leave them be I say.

Agreed... that barely exists anymore. Live and Let Live, could use a bit more of that too.
