Several of my regular customers were Christian Ladies (read: Republican housewives) who spent the day sipping lattes and working on their "correspondence" (read: didn't have shit to do.) But all was not well in paradise. Christian militia groups carried out massacres in Sulawesi that year, cutting off our supply of that variety of coffee.

"But... the Christians are the ones <i>carrying out the massacres</i>." I gently repeated.
