Sawians Are Sexy..No Doubt..
This post is basically to defend the Sawi from the outside world and explain why I think this way. Starting off with the fact that Sawians are cannibals and kill people for cultural reasons, I would have to say that yes, this is not only against Christianity but basically violates a big law in any country with some sort of organized government. Also in addition to the western culture, what the Sawi people do is probably considered grotesque and inhumane (uncivilized, old-fashioned) But setting the things that the people do, do you actually think these people enjoy doing this? I mean these people have only seen these kinds of people for God knows how long and have never experienced the outside world. How these people are suppose to know if this gets you a ticket to a life-sentence? How are they supposing to know if the rest of the world doesn’t eat people for pride and to survive? There are so many questions that can argue the fact that what theses people do is not wrong to them. It is not our job to change this by sending people to introduce the modern world and change people to make them one of us. Although this may seem righteous and gives them a easier life, I personally see this as a disruption to the law of nature; to let things be and let them change and learn things on their own. Who would know if the Sawi would have stopped their tradition in the near future and modernize. What Don Richardson did was undeniably giving and did it for their benefit but I would have to take my stance as to leave them be and let culture be diverse.

Brian, you have good points and a clear argument - my only concern is that the title doesn't do your post justice; in fact it marginalises a sound discussion. Mrs.Mc.
