Well, I scarcely presented that as news, so
your silly joke was uncalled for and just another
example of selective snipping.

Basically, the cannibals view pygmies as fast
moving snacks which have  been put in the jungle
for the convenience of the fittest cannibals who can
catch them..  That is,  if we wanted to engage in the
"new morality" exercise of always trying to understand
how the perpetrators--of ANYTHING, no matter how
horrible--see things, we might try emphasizing
and in that vein strive to get in the mind of a hungry
cannibal who simply sees two-legged snacks running
around the jungle.    Just imagine being hungry and
seeing tamales or hamburgers or corn dogs running
around on two legs!   Yet, that should be neither here
or there.  We can understand the cannibals, but
that does not mean we, as civilized human beings, can
fail to deem their actions physically revolting and morally
reprehensible.
