Yimhotep

...deceive me?

is that a light @ the end of the tunnel? Does someone understand that a lot of the *ahem* generalizations ppl r making about "everybody has the same fears, desires" "everybody fears death, growing old" "everybody has the need to control" are just descriptions of members of one culture (or stick whatever word in u think kemetian should have used)? that this fear is not necessarily a part of everyone's culture? that indeed many ppl are defining "everyone" by the only culture they know - white?
if this is the only that is got out of all of this the Canadians gving each other high fives (y'all, just in y'all own world - it's all good) won't be the only happy campers.

"Be not arrogant because of your knowledge. Take counsel with the ignorant as well as with the wise. For the limits of knowledge in any field have never been set and no one has ever reached them. Wisdom is rarer than emeralds, and yet it is found among the women who gather at the grindstones."
-The Book of Ptahhotep(excerpt)
