(Toronto Ontario, Canada) Lines: 17 Keywords: abuse of knowledge Summary: taking responsibility Sometime before 1975, the US government hired a number of anthropologists for something they called "Project: Camelot". They were supposed to study the mechanics of Chilean society, the object being to identify cultural weak points and hot-spots with the intent of causing a cultural collapse. The anthropologists refused (since the major idea behind anthropology is understand cultures, not destroy them). This is documented in the book *Culture, People, & Nature, 2nd Ed.*) by Marvin Harris. Does anyone know the results of Project Camelot and what happened to the anthropologists? -- The Phoenix (Neither Bright, Dark, nor Young) ---"A man should live forever...or die trying." ---"There is no substitute for good manners...except fast reflexes."
