Degrading people for our pleasure and amusement

A lot of outrage over tourists giving food to this woman and her fellow tribes people to dance for their cameras.

Yes - it is demeaning.

And yet such things go on all over the world. There is no country in the world where this doesn't occur in some form or another - and in many cases far more repulsive and degrading than this is.

And no one alive in the western world is innocent of participation in such things however vicariously - reality TV is not particularly decorous now is it?

And that is positively benign when compared to what might be produced in the San Fernando valley in the good old USA - be warned!

We are fallen creatures in a wicked world.
