Quote:That wasn't pointy sticks and arrowheads the Reagan/Bush Junta was supplying them with a few years back, it was sophisticated military equipment. And how could this nation simultaneously manage to be in the Stone Age AND be developing a nuclear capability??
That hit the nail on the head.
As for underdeveloped places. just take a journey through some parts of Kentucky where some people still don't have running water and they are shacked up in trailers with incest running wild. I live here and know that is not a myth.
Of course there are other parts of Kentucky that are just as "up town" as any part of the United States.
I wonder if riley realizes that people have their own ways and they don't appreciate people coming and forcing them to change? What does he expect?
Influence is best done by showing a good example rather than force.
Besides the only thing that I would wish would change in their world and our world is people wanting to go to war and kill people all the time. I don't see anything wrong in preferring a simpler life rather than a rat race tension filled life like we have here in the US.
Of course I don't know if I could trade. I kind of like my air conditioners and TV's--don't they have those things too? I wonder what qualifies them to be "pre-historic?"
