					<description><![CDATA[As I say, I admire the police for their stoic bravery in handling the issue.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Ah, the feng shui of having stonkingly rich parents and heading for jail.  Surely La Paris is the biggest argument for not following the principles. :oD]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Argus Lou is right - being a policeman or a soldier does not automatically preclude belief in all kinds of things without the slightest shred of evidence for any of it, let alone logic. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Btw, in today&#039;s paper there was a full page on the feng shui of ...guess. Go on, guess. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Paris Hilton.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;That&#039;s right, a whole page devoted to where she has been and where she is going, all because of Feng Shui. Sheesh.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hrugaar, I don&#039;t know if you&#039;re Malaysian, but I feel compelled to tell you some members of the armed forces too believe in spirits and demons. This belief is deeply entrenched amongst some Malays, Indians and Chinese (even some Eurasians give it a nod, as in &quot;we don&#039;t know about everything out there, so let&#039;s give it a wide berth or vauge respect -- just in case...) in M&#039;sia.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I agree the villagers&#039; view of aliens is a fascinating shift indeed. What&#039;s next? Kampung folk believing pontianaks (long-haired vampires in Malay folklore) come from Transylvania or Romania?!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Isn&#039;t it though? It implies a cultural shift, and possibly one at odds with established religion (I don&#039;t know the official Islamic line on aliens, mea culpa).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Then again, it would be interesting to know whether the villagers (in general) still believe in demons per se, but not that the quack could trap them with the aid of a few nails and a banana log.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And I do admire the police for the way they stoically don their rubber gloves and get in there ... though I wonder whether they view it as bravery in face of the unknown, or administering a cultural enema to the community.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes,I read that Hrugaar - interesting thought, and I suspect you are right. And isn&#039;t it fascinating that villagers are now more inclined to believe in aliens than demons?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Love it!  Yeah, witch-doctors have to be survivors.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It interests me that the villagers should have come up with the notion of space aliens being buried there, instead of imprisoned spirits.  Kind of ties in with a &lt;A HREF=&quot;http://hrugaar.blogspot.com/2007/06/angels-in-spacesuits.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog post&lt;/A&gt; I did recently about aliens being used as modern day masks for the spirits and powers of older traditions.]]></description>
