I've written a lens on Squidoo which is basically a working mans introduction to pathogens. It was writing this lens that caused me to find your blog. I wondered whether you'd be interested in havin a look?<br /><br />http://www.squidoo.com/water_borne_pathogens<br /><br />Stu Haynesyoganuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413377588533688823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-51514758507735433372008-03-14T12:19:00.000+02:002008-03-14T12:19:00.000+02:00What does e3b have to do with anything?

Furthermore, E3b has nothing to with "Cushites".Crimson Guardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259882884691575025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-83576349947901000252008-03-14T01:45:00.000+02:002008-03-14T01:45:00.000+02:00If I dare say so I think there is a correlation be...If I dare say so I think there is a correlation between haplogroup <BR/>e3b (or rather genes with their origin in cushitic e3b tribes) and tribal and collectivist thinking. At least when compared to europeans with no such influence or for instance afro americans. I'm not talking about outright racism or xenophobia but rather about the importance of the tribe in cultural, political and spiritual matters. <BR/><BR/>Groups which carry e3b in varying degrees are for instance somalians, Ethiopians, arabs, jews, albanians, gypsies, iranians, assyrians, greeks, turks, kurds, bulgarians, romanians, south italians etc.<BR/><BR/>Some signs of tribal thinking (and the number and type of signs that occur varies greatly among the above mentioned groups) is to me for instance a clan based society or at least the existence of clans or "ethnic communities" within a rather genetically homogenous society, diasporas identifying with the tribal group, a tribal religion or a tribal version of a non tribal religion, strong control of womens sexuality and clothing or at least over their marriage choices, an honour culture which punishes or excludes people who breake certain cultural norms. A criminal sector that is based on a family mafia system rather than on ad hoc cooperation between unrelated criminals.<BR/><BR/>My own point of view is that the golden path seems to be somewhere in between extreme individualism and extreme collectivism although variation is of course good in itself and there are certainly several golden paths.Future Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075982665142807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-27563226618385497282008-03-13T09:09:00.000+02:002008-03-13T09:09:00.000+02:00I assume this would include Multiculturalism as we...I assume this would include Multiculturalism as well?Crimson Guardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259882884691575025noreply@blogger.com
