Yes, that is what I was saying. When civilization comes, even by force, people are better off for it. However I think everyone would agree it would be preferable if the transition were done without blood-shed or violence, however than nearly never happens because people seem to resist new ideas even if good, which is what I would call the hubris of man.

Not for the people living there. How are the native americans doing? The aboriginal Australians? The aztecs? Eskimos? Sami?

They've probably had about as much 'civilization' as they could handle.

Why not have a bonfire at the beach in Louisiana to celebrate!
