för naturens skull

"When European missionaries taught Australian Aborigine hunter/gatherers how to play "football" back in the early 1900s, the Aboriginal children played until both sides had equal scores: that was when the game was over, in their mind, and it boggled the British missionaries who taught them the game. The missionaries worked for over a year to convince the children that there should be winners and losers. The children lived in a matrilineal society that valued cooperation; the Englishmen came fron a patriarchal society  which valued domination."
