The fact that you mention seeing "cannibals" & "killing chiefs" from a Time Life, (was it?) and think that's good enough to stereotype the nation; shows you have as little understanding of the people there and their country as you do of "This tiny island" when you believe we're all as civilized as we believe ourselves to be. Go on a fact finding mission for goodness sake and learn what PNG'eans are really like. Don't constantly perpetuate your ignorance and others. And when you apologise: say sorry and leave it at that! sincerely J M Fallas PNG from 1964 - 1970 Dear, dear, dear Boris,
