Meanwhile, Down In Africa
Scully and I live hectic, western lives. We deal with traffic, crowds, noise, commercial advertisement and the Smoking Man, just to name a few daily irritations. That's some heavy shit. How have humans decided that this life we're leading was better than living in tribes of hunter gatherers? Even Africa has become unrecognizable to primative people. There are still tribes, but westerners often visit them, bringing their stuff, taking pictures...polluting their culture and the wild. If humans survive what's coming, might we realize the folly of our ways and return to the simpler life? Imagine western women, topless, adorned with beads, bones and shells, dancing by a fire. Does it not sound good to you? Imagine a return to nature, to feel connected to Mother Earth once more. Did you know primative people had more leisure time than we do? Once the hunting was done, the carcas dressed, the meals made...there was little else to do. The time was filled with art, music, games, family time...and making family time, aka fucking. Are we really so much better off? Here are some sweet tribal women to look at while you contemplate the question.
