Interesting idea, if projection actually works that simplistically (and
maybe it does).

However, CAUTION CAUTION:

>explained at:
>http://www.psychohistory.com/05_history.html

where we learn such great universal truths as:

< Arab women know that their
spouses are pedophiles and prefer having sex with children to having sex
with them. >

No modifiers, no statistical shading: Arabs. Those dirty alien bastards.

I also wonder about the sources for those cited figures from India, China,
etc. They sound like 19th century imperial uh projection, to my ear. (Which
isn't to doubt that certain heinous practices might well be widespread.)
