The Greediest Generation articles by author The Bad News Is the Good News Is Irrelevant Coring the Apple Amazing Grace Font Size: Demography, Disaster and Destiny By Megan McArdle Published E-Mail Bookmark Print Save Last week, I wrote a column arguing that Social Security and Medicare are about a decade away from turning into the sucking chest wound of the Federal Budget. I pointed out that the day is rapidly approaching when the benefits we've promised beneficiaries start to exceed the amount we're collecting in payroll taxes: Medicare starts running a deficit in 2013 and Social Security four years later. When that happens we'll be faced with four options: cut benefits, raise taxes, cut other spending, or borrow money (which itself only defers the need to do one of the first three.) But all of these options are so unpleasant . Isn't there some other way?

154. Inuit (Eschimo) Inuit Eskimo Religion. Inuit, pronounced IHN yoo iht, are a people who live in and near the Arctic. Their homeland stretches from http://www.yomee.com/Religions/Other/Inuit.htm

Inuit - Eskimo Religion Inuit, pronounced IHN yoo iht, are a people who live in and near the Arctic. Their homeland stretches from the northeastern tip of Russia across Alaska and northern Canada to Greenland. Many Inuit live farther north than any other people in the world. Religion The Inuit believed that all people, animals, things, and forces of nature had spirits. The spirits of people and animals lived in another world after they died. Other spirits included those of the wind, the weather, the sun, and the moon. One of the most important spirits to many groups was a goddess who governed the sea. In some areas, she was called Sedna (pronounced SEHD nuh). She lived at the bottom of the ocean and controlled the seals, whales, and other sea mammals. The Inuit followed special rules to please the spirits. They believed that if they ignored the rules, the spirits might punish them by causing sickness or other misfortune. In many communities, the wife of a hunter might offer a drink of water to an animal that had been killed. She would do this to satisfy its spirit. In Alaska, the Inuit saved the bladders of the seals they killed. They believed a seal's spirit rested within its bladder. In a special ceremony each year, the community returned the bladders to the sea to ensure good hunting in the year to come. The death of an Inuk required certain observances. In many regions, the Inuit wrapped the body in skins and left it on the tundra, covered by an arrangement of stones. They often placed tools, weapons, and other items with the body for use in the otherworld.
