After the "fact" of having called Robert Johnson a "Utopian"

and of course as being inadequate as others in answering the
question of the complicity with murder that "international"
anthropology involves itself.

Besides the fact that Clifford Geertz has done more than anyone
to make "anthropology" the farce it is today.

Clifford Geertz has less of an excuse than anyone to hid behind
cowardize in facing the questions I bring to "anthropology."

Are you still the same bloated mess you were that day at C.U.?

Shall we begin by you telling us what you were smoking the day
you went to the cockfights?

Get on this list, god of anthropology, and I'll put your "reputation"
exactly were it belongs.
