Another nine?

I love the idea of 'Cargo Cult.' I've mentioned this previously in connection with the movie, Mondo Cane. The movie described a phenomenon which arose during WWII. The aboriginal natives of New Guinea, observing the amazing activity surrounding American bases, conjectured that their dead relatives were sending 'mana from heaven' so to say, but that it was arriving at the wrong places. They conjectured that the Americans had fooled the gods into delivering cargo to American bases.

So they constructed their very own 'airbases' on tops of mountains, hoping to attract cargo which rightfully belonged to them. It was a failure of modern scientific understanding.

Most of the old Cargo Cults have long since disappeared, but there is at least one Cargo Cult which survives to this day.

This particular Cargo Cult involves psychoactive drugs, which may be a factor.
