Is everyone dizzy? or drugged?

critical thinking

I wish this information could be read by my friends in what has been described the 'himbalands' by the west. I could call on my old friend "plato" to tell us about cruitical thinking and society. Where did he come from again? Or he was also from the west. Anyway, but a long time ago and things have changed.

If I recall or want to say something about the hyprocrisy that is existing between people of 'goodwill' in the west and the himbas of the south, then I think that someone has overslept, or the whole world is dreaming.
People have animal hospitals, animal drugs, animals' rights, animals' everything, defending animals' feelings this and that.

BUT who really cares about the rights of the "HIMBAS"?.. this people of the south in general and those of the south that have been left to feign for themselves or dance to western visitors as entertainment tools? and not as dance groups. Funny.
This people that eat crap and scrapes, this people that sleep in shelters called houses, this people that have never seen a drug but cure themselves with leaves and herbs that their forefathers showed them, this people that had never seen the westerners or people from the west, this people that welcome every living thing: respectful, caring and smiling to the "others" that cross their parts.

BUT are made to become objects of mockery like the TV programme that have been entertaining the Dutch people during the summer of 2006? 'groeten uit Rimboe"- the best TV hit of the season in Holland. I wonder if the producers ever told the rimboe people something called TV ratings? What happened with theater and acting? that real life will become entertaining? I wonder if those that give definations gave a good one concerning "culture".

Could someone tell me if I am the only one crying for this forgotten people, in adddition to africa that has been growing backwards for the past 40 -50 years? since their so called independence from their colonial masters? or lets say the past 15yrs if we include south africa.

Who please will give me a good point to accept or swallow this bitter pil? This is why I hate writing when I am not able to discuss with someone who thinks.

By the way I also look met afgrijzen at that program groeten uit de rimboe.. It is the most humiliating way I saw since long to portray people. With absolutely no consideration with who they actually are or want to be.
