Don't Sleep There Are Snakes
By Daniel Everett
BBC Book of the Week – listen only while it lasts
Daniel Everett lived among the Pirahã, a small tribe of Amazonian Indians in central Brazil, whose remoteness meant that their language was incomprehensible.
He began as a linguist and a missionary, his task to translate the New Testament into their dialect. But his story tells of how, over the years, the Pirahãs changed him more than he could influence them.

Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »

God, I’m sick of Christians doing this, destroying cultures by spreading their insane theories all over the world. What if we went and repainted Mona Lisa and the Sistine Chapel to look like cubism because that was the trend of the time. It’s sickening.
I was thinking the other day, “Its wrong to judge all Christians just as it’s wrong to judge someone for being black or gay or whatever.”
Except that every single Christian chose to be just that, and so they’ve willingly bought into a club based on hocus pocus, lies, hate, murder and the raping of our world differences.
Maybe off topic, sorry if I hijacked your comments. :(
Hey no worries. I know you’re on the train now so cant hear it, but its a really amazing story that I posted because I thought you’d find it super interesting. It ignited all sorts of new wonderful ideas in my mind about how to be happy in life. I definitely want to get the audiobook some time.
Anyhow its only going to be online today, maybe tomorrow before its replaced by this week’s book of the week.
Yeah, get the audiobook! That’ll be great for the next bout of driving. :)

Surprisingly, its hard to find in audiobook format. But I found it here.
