» woorama - ritualised violence and rites of passage
In response to ritualised violence and rites of passage posted by aemontague:
art's got it right there - separation from nature is at the root of things. when i work with young men "at risk" or "troubled" or whatever, i find that if i take them out bush all their antisocial behaviours just melt away after a time.
western separation from nature and replacement with a surrogate mother of consumerism is the cause of most crime and social problems, i think. war too.
the only solution is for westerners to reclaim their indigeneity. in my experience that solution works for criminals and sick youth - so what better for a sick society?
