Pray, play...what's the difference? Both are acts of surrender and equally sacred.

Good link Linda. As a culture, we do some pretty strange things in the name of commerce, don't we?

What really got me was the fire ritual at the end, and being told that, in truth, we're wild, playful primates. What are we doing to ourselves, and our kids?

Wholly agree Linda. Strong cultural tendency to accentuate primate posturing and discourage playful instincts, reverse priorities IMHO, but probably results in more GDP, and that's been our priority in the recent past.

Sure good to know we're not alone in noticing, and doing something about it.
