Story of Cain and Abel still taking place today?

Jun 24, ’08 9:22 PM

Speak­ing of Sur­vival Inter­na­tional, they’ve pos­ted a video on their web­site of gun­men hired by farm­ers to attack a Mak­uxi Indian vil­lage in Brazil, part of a bru­tal attempt at an Indian land grab. The cor­rel­a­tion between this and Daniel Quinn’s altern­at­ive the­ory of the story of Cain and Abel is quite stark.

Peter Beaumont’s lost tribe ‘controversy’ that wasn’t

Jun 24, ’08 8:51 PM

If you read The Observer over the week­end you might have had the mis­for­tune to come across this grubby tabloid-like excuse for journ­al­ism by Peter Beau­mont, for­eign affairs editor for The Observer.

Beau­mont — clearly hav­ing a slow news day — focused his atten­tion on the uncon­tac­ted tribe pho­tos I com­men­ted on the other day, crudely attempt­ing to drum up con­tro­versy where there is none.

Labour not laughing at David Davis now

Jun 15, ’08 10:22 AM

It’s the unrep­res­ent­at­ive nature of single-winner elect­oral sys­tems, like Britain’s first past the post, that leads one into some­times sup­port­ing people you wouldn’t oth­er­wise support.

And it’s with this in mind that I find myself sup­port­ing con­ser­vat­ive MP David Davis, who has embarked on a cam­paign against the “relent­less erosion of civil liber­ties in Britain”.

Photographobia: an irrational fear of photographers

Jun 5, ’08 10:33 PM

A couple of weeks ago I was on the over­land train to Cam­den Town, Lon­don when a tour­ist was tak­ing a photo out the win­dow. Some local got up and har­assed him, telling him he wasn’t allowed to take pho­tos on the train, then went and sat down again. Rolling my eyes I sug­ges­ted he…
