Do I have to criticize the peasants for clinging to slametan traditions now that I'm a santri?

Furthermore, what's my position on those pseudo-heathens over at NU?

(joke!)

Oookay Patung, I'll try to be helpful than. Here we go, let's use balinese caste structure, from highest to lowest (no we don't have dalit -- caste that even the great soul Mahatma Gandhi despised the way he despised the blacks ha ha ha -- in bali, unlilke india).

First, Ida Bagus (brahmana).

Second, Cokorda (ksatria).

Eh wait, that's the theory, but in practice we can always pay the brahmanas to follow our will, and Cokorda of course (being ksatria) is in a better position to hold power (and consequently, money). So here we go again:

(1) Cokorda

(2) Ida Bagus

(3) Anak Agung (Anak Agungs always want to be considered equal as Cokorda, but nope, still failed, so to number 3 they go).

(4) Dewa

(5) Pasek (I'm not sure which is higher between Dewa and Pasek, I don't care actually).

(6) and those I's and Ni's.

Alright, but let me put on my firefighter suit first.

Ok, btw, I didn't really intend to start a mud slinging. Just posting a little thing I learned (each day), and this time is from: http://www.racialicious.com/20.....st-for-me/ -- I like the writer's view on the matter.
