I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.

It is remarkable that jealousy of individual property in land often goes along with very exaggerated doctrines of tribal or national property in land.

Under no stretch of imagination can war be regarded as an ethical process yet war force terror and propaganda were the evolutionary means employed to weld the German people into a tribal whole.

We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness while cutting rather than raising taxes by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.

You have to look at the history of the Middle East in particular. It has been one of failure and frustration of feudalism and tribalism.

My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status regardless of the pest.
