Oh. Another religious discussion.

It seemed to me more about original sin than that bit from Genesis.

I dated a human being once. When you get to know them better, they are even worse.

Every culture is indigenous somewhere, so let's not climb on the magical brown people train just yet. One of the tragic ironies of human society is that political collectives can conceive, warrant and implement atrocities that, were they carried out by any one of us individually, would be punished severely.
Reread your "Heart of Darkness." Alone, we're all psychopaths. Collectively, we're history.

The obvious lesson here is that snake boots are extremely durable.

Sometimes blunt needs to happen because we certainly haven't gotten anywhere with subtle.
