But isn't there a difference between acculturation vs. the exploitation of another culture? From what I've learned, a lot of cultures have borrowed from others, but haven't exploited them. The New Age Movement is responsible for the exploitation of various cultures and life ways. Nihilistic is quite an extreme word to use also. Because I think I merely hold an opinion on the issue, and it is of concern to me! What your saying could be true about most cultures.

It can also become vinegar. Wine is dangerous when abused, and far too many Nuage people act like drunks when it comes to spirituality. Instead of savoring, they binge, abuse their spiritual health, and become loudmouthed bores not knowing or caring who they offend. "I hope your views mature with age." His view is shared by untold hundreds of revered Native elders. Respected spiritual Native elders are not immature, or else no one else would consider them elders. "Every thing is borrowed from somewhere." Borrowing means that someone asked before taking. Nuagers don't ask, they just STEAL left and right and don't care or don't listen when Natives say "NO! This is not yours." "You have a Nihilistic way of looking at the world." Nihilism means he either does not care or does not believe in anything. I see him as someone who cares very deeply about these issues. "Do ya have the courage to post this? I'll be watching..." Sir, do you have the courage to consider that you may be wrong and he may be right? “Grape Juice becomes wine over time…”
