I was going to bring this up, that while I had also noticed the suspicious lack of the Quran (or Confucius, Mao Zedong, or anything else from the unWest) I have never in my life heard of occo-centrism. (Webster hasn't either, as far as I can tell.)
But then, I figured I shouldn't question Mr. Seattle's vocabulary, and I should quit while I had him on my side. Or close to my side anyway.

It will both reflect the fact that we're um, a rather unmulticultural group, and also the fact that we're rather eccentric (no offense).
