Isolated Peruvian tribe
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-16835197
I wonder how these people or the other 15 uncontacted tribes of Peru feel about being the truly priviledged one percent. Or, do they actually represent the most dedicated and deserving of the ninety-nine percent?
Like the Occupiers, they've put up tents and their demands are unclear. I think they must need to Twitter. For their first demand, one might propose that the Peruvian government provide them with cell phones and web access so they can join and ultimately lead the world wide fairness movement. Afterall, they have achieved the model, so it's really just a matter of implementing their template in other places.
Nowhere in the U.S. does anyone enjoy such freedom. They can thank the unitary presidential republic of Peru for just leaving them the hell alone. Now, that's limited government! By comparison, our citizens are oppressed. Why can't our Occupiers pitch tents, get naked and be susceptible to diseases like the rest of the planet without worrying about the outsiders storming in and disturbing their camps?
Certainly, there are many such tribes in other parts of the world whose governments don't meddle in their lifestyle choices. Maybe the next baby step for our Occupiers is to boycott technology. What would Apple do without them but continue making record profits off of slave labor? I'm not sure that the Occupiers are ready to set themselves on fire, but they are willing to publicly defecate and have sex, so it's certainly not for any lack of spirit.
Thanks to the UN, South American governments like Venezuela and Brazil and other BRICs economies for leading the charge against western oppression at the Rio+20 Summit, which sets a noble agenda to retool the very nature of the world economy and achieve social and economic equality. In the oppressive U.S. regime, even our homeless carry cellphones in the frantic, cosmetic rat race to hide the shame of their socioeconomic inequality. The root of most western health problems lies in excess, including consumption of toxic Chinese imports - but seldom from lack of resources. In the U.S., one has to hope for a Katrina to come along and legitimize the right to ignore advanced warnings, die, rot and float down a river in peace, let alone find the support of others bathing in the river to cheer us on as we drift by, like they would in other countries. Now, that's consumer confidence!
