Hey, I am a little late on my emails.

Denny's discription of this mission effect is the best ever, the cultural
neutron bomb.  The people alive, the culture torched.

Some of the most dishonest people I know, missionaries.

Gee, where do such people get off preaching at natives about God?

I didn't know he was into such dishonesty and denial?

So what are they really up to.

I am sorry, I say destroy their churches and run them out of the country, that
WILL get their attention.
After all, they find is fine to destroy peoples culture. And that took many
more years and much  more grief to build.
