Which brings us to Filipino ethnicity. To a Filipino American, in danger of forgetting the basics, the Filipino heritage is very rich. I wonder to myself why the amazing parts of Filipino heritage are not even mentioned in the encyclopedia. In my view, there is nothing to be ashamed of in the history. It is amazing and something to be proud of. Why has there been no mention of the custom of smoking the dead in the Cordillera? Why has there been no mention of the existence of food that was here before Magellan, prepared in a way that is recognizable today? What about the Igorots? My own grandmother used to sew shirts for the Igorots; it was easy to size their shirts because they didn't wear pants then. What about the bangca? They were much more maneuverable and seaworthy than the European designs. What about the sails? The design was clearly independent and unique. Why do we not have this in the encyclopedia?

The comparison of a tree to a Wikipedia article is well taken. In a mature forest the trees are tall (100-150 feet; Lewis and Clark recorded the existence of 200-foot trees; I noted one in a hike up Old Rag Mountain), thin in proportion to a lone tree, which can spread out spherically, and can include oaks and maples of equal height in peaceful coexistence. You are right; it is silent in such a forest as well. But each tree can be magnificent and well formed, thin-looking (not too many branches), 3-foot diameter at breast height. (I visit such a forest weekly. The residents of the forest can not withstand eminent domain.) --Ancheta Wis 10:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Factually incorrect

The second and third paragraphs strike me as pretty inaccurate. Comparisons of pre-colonized African life and modern American life found that the hunter-gatherers of Africa had far more free time for self-expression and self-actualization than do low-level workers in the modern period. Furthermore suggesting that individuality is "in the fabric of American society" and that Americans have a special love of privacy seems pretty vague and POV.

It is a little more complex than this. There are many more people alive today thanks to industrialization and public health/hygiene. 100 years ago, 95% of a nation like the US was agricultural; now 2% of the population devote themselves to agriculture. The peoples of the Earth actually hunted animals like the passenger pigeon to extinction, when these birds darkened the skies by the billions. Americans felt free to kill them all, there were so many. The other nations similarly killed off their fauna as well. Just look at the depopulation and deforestation currently in process, world-wide. So we see a world where people are crowding into cities (currently 50% of the populace is urbanized), depopulating the rural areas. But because everyone has similar needs (food water shelter), we see even greater competition. What you seem to be decrying is standardization, which is an effect of industrialization. When you can buy a cheap T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops and thus proudly wear what everyone else is wearing, you have spent $10 for what used to take months of labor for spinning and weaving. But the weavers could customize their goods, unlike the T-shirt wearers, who must select from a limited number of designs in order to standardize their labors. During the millennia when the Native Americans had the 'freedom' to 'do as they wished' they had to hunt and gather and protect themselves from being killed by enemies. That's why the Native Americans were taught to be silent; to make a racket meant you could be more easily detected and killed.

Read Alexis de Toqueville for the 'love of individuality' you are questioning (this trait has existed in the US since at least the 1800s).

But if you are decrying those who must ask 'and would you like fries with that', then you have just guaranteed they will loose their jobs for not following their work duties. And if you are criticizing the business which require their workers to speak in a certain way and wear standard clothes, you are actually criticizing their business model. Thus we see that 2 hours of asking and would you like fries with that will get you the T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops you get to wear off the job.

Furthermore, it is going to be difficult to get back to a world where there are billions of passenger pigeons. Humanity seems to have killed them all off. I am not going to defend this article any further, but it seems to me you have just incurred an obligation to improve it if you disagree with its current state. --Ancheta Wis 16:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
