If
we
didn
’
t
have
a
tribal
taboo
about
the
matter
so
strong
that
you
honestly
believed
it
was
an
instinct
,
I
can
think
of
a
long
list
of
people
I
wouldn
’
t
trust
with
my
back
turned
,
not
with
the
price
of
beef
what
it
is
today
.
Eh
?
"
Duke
grudged
a
grin
.
"
Maybe
you
’
ve
got
something
there
.
I
wouldn
’
t
want
to
take
a
chance
on
my
ex
-
mother
-
in
-
law
.
She
hates
my
guts
.
"
"
You
see
?
Or
how
about
our
charming
neighbour
on
the
south
,
who
is
so
casual
about
other
people
’
s
fences
and
live
stock
during
the
hunting
season
?
I
wouldn
’
t
want
to
bet
that
you
and
I
wouldn
’
t
wind
up
in
his
freezer
if
we
didn
’
t
have
that
taboo
.
But
Mike
I
would
trust
utterly
–
because
Mike
is
civilized
.
"
"
Huh
?
"
"
Mike
is
utterly
civilized
,
Martian
style
.
Duke
,
I
don
’
t
understand
the
Martian
viewpoint
and
probably
never
shall
.
But
I
’
ve
talked
enough
with
Mike
on
this
subject
to
know
that
the
Martian
practice
isn
’
t
at
all
dog
-
eat
-
dog
?
or
Martian
-
eat
-
Martian
.
Surely
they
eat
their
dead
,
instead
of
burying
them
,
or
burning
them
,
or
exposing
them
to
vultures
.
But
the
custom
is
highly
formalized
and
deeply
religious
.
A
Martian
is
never
grabbed
and
butchered
against
his
will
.
In
fact
,
so
far
as
I
have
been
able
to
find
out
,
the
idea
of
murder
isn
’
t
even
a
Martian
concept
.
Instead
,
a
Martian
dies
when
he
decides
to
die
,
having
discussed
it
with
and
been
advised
by
his
friends
and
having
received
the
consent
of
his
ancestors
’
ghosts
to
join
them
.
Having
decided
to
die
,
he
does
so
,
as
easily
as
you
close
your
eyes
–
no
violence
,
no
lingering
illness
,
not
even
an
overdose
of
sleeping
pills
.
One
second
he
is
alive
and
well
,
the
next
second
he
’
s
a
ghost
,
with
a
dead
body
left
over
.
Then
,
or
maybe
later
(
Mike
is
always
vague
about
time
factors
)
his
closest
friends
eat
what
he
no
longer
has
any
use
for
,
‘
grokking
’
him
,
as
Mike
would
say
,
and
praising
his
virtues
as
they
spread
the
mustard
.
The
new
ghost
attends
the
feast
himself
,
as
it
is
sort
of
a
bar
mitzvah
or
confirmation
service
by
which
the
ghost
attains
the
status
of
‘
Old
One
’
–
becomes
an
elder
statesman
,
if
I
understand
it
.
"
Duke
made
a
face
of
disgust
.
"
God
,
what
superstitious
junk
!
Turns
my
stomach
.
"
"
Does
it
?
To
Mike
it
’
s
a
most
solemn
–
but
joyful
-
religious
ceremony
.
"
Duke
snorted
,
"
Jubal
,
you
don
’
t
believe
that
stuff
about
ghosts
,
do
you
?
Oh
,
I
know
you
don
’
t
.
It
’
s
just
cannibalism
combined
with
the
rankest
sort
of
superstition
.
