Quote:quote:Something unnerving is happening in archaeology. I've worked on several sites recently where I've spent at least a couple of weeks being the only smoker. Also, I was working on a site recently which had one smoker, one vegetarian and one Guardian reader. What the devil is going on? Has anyone else noticed this development?
Yep, noticed it. Political views have taken an alarming turn to the right lately too. I don't miss the once ubiqitous F*****g Hippy types, but at least their politics were generally palatable. Just heard about an archaeological site where recent bombings prompted discussion about pre-emptive internment a la Camp X-Ray. Among 15 archs only one spoke up against them!!!
Deeply disturbing.
