“Civilization is the process in which one gradually increases the number of people included in the term ‘we’ or ‘us’ and at the same time decreases those labeled ‘you’ or ‘them’ until that category has no one left in it.”
Howard Winters - a modern-day archaeologist born in 1923
This quote formed the foundation for J. Michael Wiltbank's fine-art photography exhibit that was censored by BYU (see next story in this thread).
It would seem that the Mormon Church (and BYU) is resisting any movement toward civilization because their behavior only serves to further entrench the 'us' vs. 'them' way of thinking.
