Like Ronald Reagan would say "There you go again".
We should stop applying petty bourgeoisie Eurocentric concepts developed
in the West to other societies and cultures.
How can an idea developed in 2001 be relevant to the zeitgist of 30 t0 40
years ago?
Behaviors that may seem weird and wacko in the West may not be viewed
as such in other cultures and subcultures.

I find it interesting that what we percived as hostages is perceived as
guests in other cultures.
