“Exporting the cultural wars…”

Western culture is very powerful because of its wealth…marginal people in the west can have a dramatic effect solely due to the disparity in wealth when they visit 3rd world countries.

This is why missionary work is so powerful…$1 a day can feed a family of four, buy advertising, cheaply reproduce literature and so on.

Encouraging sexual fidelity and sexual restraint precede the ascendancy of Western wealth and mission work.

Greeks and Romans were somewhat cynical in their attempts to control sexual behavior, seeking to Tax it or incorporate it into religious practice.

I fear Lively’s (an odd and marginal man here in the US) ventures into Uganda will fit a template of the left of colonial oppression and religious fundamentalism.

Sempa invited him…Sempa was not converted by him.
