I like it when a culture stays intact. That is the difference I have noticed in Canada and the US. We attempt to assimilate and make everone out to be westerners where as Canada or at least BC respects and allows for different cultures a bit more.

Unfortunately, the way cultures stay intact is through racism. Racism isn't really about race; it's about culture. A group sticks together through their culture long enough they're eventually all going to start looking alike. And the way to keep that culture going is to exclude other influences.

This phenomenon is against nature - and the result is racism, warfare, and exclusionary practices.

The reason that I hated the "diversity" programs, and affirmative action, at my jobs in New York is because most of the people that benefited would never reciprocate - once they got in a position, the only people that they would help were their "own kind". As I said earlier I enjoy real diversity, such as the varioius immigrant cultures, and that's the main reason I've stayed in New York.

Many of the world's problems probably never would have happened if the ancient people had not run out of psychedelic plants, due to various historically accurate climatic conditions, and other reasons. Thse plants broke down primitive, animal instincts and replaced them with advanced tribal customs and intellectual power - otherwise we never would have evolved. Terrence McKenna ("The Archaic Revival", "Food of the Gods", "True Hallucnations", etc.) has some very interesting theories about this.
