My experience is that all so-called "primitive" societies have an excellent grasp of this thing called manners - it's the oil that lubricates social interaction. By contrast, Western culture by and large is not only mostly ignorant of manners and proprietary, but we made a conscious decision to discard all of it entirely. I too have come into contact with many cultures other than my own. The only one that goes out of it's way to be rude as a matter of course is the Caucasian. Food for thought. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
