The article packet which will be available in the Copy Center (Little Bldg) tomorrow will cost about $13; not too bad! So please obtain this as soon as possible, certainly for next week.
I also found this very interesting spreadsheet comparison of descriptions of alien abductions versus Satanic Ritual Abuse. This might prove illuminating as we discuss SRA this week and come closer to our unit on UFO-based shows in the next couple of weeks.
Another interesting point someone might want to research and write about: not only are there distinctive similarities between alien abduction and SRA narratives; but these are also markedly similar to narratives of "faery abduction" (including stories of changelings, being lost in fairy realms, being seduced by fairies, etc.) which were popular in the British Isles at the turn of the century (and which are mentioned in this NY Times book review. Of particular interest perhaps is the marked presence of sexual abuse common to all these different situations...
Thoughts??
