[S]ome moral views are better than others, despite the sincerity of the individuals, cultures, and societies that endorse them. Some moral views are true, others false, and my thinking them so doesn’t make them so. My society’s endorsement of them doesn’t prove their truth. Individuals, and whole societies, can be seriously mistaken when it comes to morality (pg. viii).
From a 2004 philosophy textbook, Whatever Happened to Good and Evil?, by Russ Shafer-Landau
A quote to make just about every anthropologist I know go crazy…

Bad Ethnography is the love baby of a group of designers/teachers/ethnographers/architects and a Rroma. If you find your work here is not because it's good or bad ethnography, it just is.
We assume nothing and mean no harm.
