That's what I thought. Did they change it back again? Just checked Wiki, and apparently it's still called Myanmar, but in some places Burma is still in common usage.

Up until about 300 years ago, Christianity pretty much acted the same way toward non-Christians. Burma may be a bit behind the times, but it isn't doing anything that hasn't been done in the West.

Once again Charles Darwin leaps to the defense of the "Noble Savage," whose non-Western, pre-rational way of thinking is beyond judgement by bigoted, European-derived modes of thought.

My bad. I meant Burma. I had no idea what you were taking issue with.
