BBC NEWS | Africa | Sierra Leone's ghetto taxpayers on 2008-09-12
- For the first time in generations, people have been flocking to pay their local council tax of 5,000 leones (about $1.5, 90 UK pence) in the Sierra Leonean capital, Freetown.
  "I don't have a job, but I have paid my tax," said Mohamed Bangura, 38, at the crumbling steps of what was once sub-Saharan Africa's first university - the wreck of the old Fourah Bay College.
  "This is the first time I've done this: I want to improve my country, I want it to develop."

Extracts from Emile Durkheim on 2008-09-04
- Up to the present there have been only two doctrines in the field. For
  some, the
  categories
  cannot be derived from experience: they are logically
  prior to it and condition it. They are represented as so many simple and
  irreducible data, imminent in the human mind by virtue of its inborn
  constitution. For this reason they are said to be
  a
  priori. Others,
  however, hold that they are constructed and made up of pieces and bits, and
  that the individual is the artisan of this construction.
- So between these two sorts
  of representations there is all the difference which exists between the
  individual and the social, and one can no more derive the second from the
  first than he can deduce society from the individual, the whole from the
  part, the complex from the simple.
  
  Society as a reality
  sui
  generis

- - It does not
    owe this to any vague mysterious virtue but simply to the fact that
    according to the well-known formula,
    man is double.
    There are two beings in
    him: an individual being which has its foundations in the organism and the
    circle of whose activities is therefore strictly limited, and a social
    being which represents the highest reality in the intellectual and moral
    order that we can know by observation - I mean society.
  - A society whose members are united by the fact that they think in the
    same way in regard to the sacred world and its relations with the profane
    world, and by the fact that they translate these common ideas to common
    practices, is what is called a Church. In all history, we do not find a
    single religion without a Church.
  - religion is a unified
    system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things
  - n other words, totemism is the religion, not of such and such animals or
    men or images, but of an anonymous and impersonal force, found in each of
    these beings but not to be confounded with any of them. No one possesses it
    entirely and all participate in it.
    
    It is so completely independent of the
    particular subjects in whom it incarnates itself, that it precedes them and
    survives them. Individuals die, generations [p.189] pass and are replaced
    by others; but this force always remains actual, living and the same. It
    animates the generations of today as it animated those of yesterday and as
    it will animate those of tomorrow.
    
    Religious Life
  - We have shown
    what moral forces it develops and how it awakes the sentiment of a refuge,
    of a shield and of a guardian support which attaches the believer to his
    cult.
  - society cannot make its
    influence felt unless it is in action, and it is not in action unless the
    individuals who compose it are assembled together and act in common. It is
    by common action that it takes consciousness of itself and realises its
    position; it is before all else an active cooperation. The collective ideas
    and sentiments are even possible only owing to these exterior movements
    which symbolise them, as we have established. (footnote: see above, pages
    230 following). Then it is action that dominates the religious life,
    because of the mere fact that it is society which is its source.

Roman Temple Uncovered In Ancient Jewish Capital Of Galilee on 2008-09-03
- No evidence has been found that reveals the nature of the temple’s rituals, but some coins dating from the time of Antoninus Pius, minted in Diocaesarea (Zippori), depict a temple to the Roman gods Zeus and Tyche. The temple ceased to function at an unknown date, and a large church, the remains of which were uncovered by the Hebrew University excavation team in previous seasons, was built over it in the Byzantine period.
