When I used to attend (evangelical christian) church there was always a
vocal strain of folks who wanted to think they were persecuted, they told made - up stories about christians being persecuted in
various parts of the world (at the time a lot of them were set in the U.S.S.R.)... it was so obvious that they LOVED thinking of themselves as some small
group of martyrs, that they NEEDED to imagine themselves to be a persecuted minority... holding on to some secret truth that the rest of the world had turned its back on.
Led by Kulahci, the researchers studied the
vocal interactions and grooming networks of
various groups of ringtailed lemurs living at Duke University's Lemur Center and on St. Catherines Island in Georgia.
On - campus student
groups, including Students for Education Reform and the Student Labor Action Movement, have been
vocal and active in both their support of and objections to
various programs.
