Civilization - 4 Real

After 3 weeks driving, walking, flying and climbing through Bolivia & Peru; after reading extensively about lost cultures and societies while studying their ruins and talking with their descendants; then mused on the nature of the modern world and how indigenous cultures can maintain their identities in the face of globalization and corporate hegemony; I have come to this conclusion...if you ain't got broadband then you're just another skinny white guy with a few bucks in his pockets.

After that shocking revelation I leave you with a joke.


I didn't say it was a good joke....

  3. So let's say I'm an overweight, penniless Incan woman with broadband that unexpectedly cuts out-- does that automatically make em a skinny white guy with a few bucks in his pocket?
