>Love it! The Mennonite tribe! As a Mennonite myself, it makes me chuckle. I was using the word tribe for the Mennonites to just emphazis how far off our social organisation is from our genetically programmed .need .to live in tribe. The difference in social organisation between the old christian orders and the modern individualistic societies is allready well marked but for sure in comparaison with what we are geneticaly expecting to experience , The mennonite did a long way off track like any of the other post neolithic cultures. Yet they have some sort of collective sense that we have lost We are at the tip of a nonsens. jean-claude
