Easier to kill everything and think and talk later, the good ol american
way!

Well, if you kill everything, you don't have to talk later.
Problems are so much more easily solved when you have simply blown it
away.
And wild bison could be replaced with cattle ranches.


We had a similar policy here in Oz. We tried to get the aboriginies
to breed themselves out of existance. Many horrid ways were found to
discourage them.
Our Govt has just publically apologized for all the crap, and number od
indigenous are increasing.

We have to invent the wisdom to ensure everyone gets a fair go.

There are more dead kangaroos killed by the roadside than ever before.
If they were bison, they'd make a bigger mess of a car when you hit one.
Hitting an average roo is about like hitting an average 10 yr old kid.
Grim, but country dwellers are used to the carnage of Oz wildlife.
They are not inclined to double fence heights.


But you are right, but wasn't it the spiral rifling in barrels and the 
bullet and cartridge which was faster to reload than the muzzle loader
and powder 
was it not? 

We had a do***entary I saw about the American Civil War shown here
about 10 years ago when I may have watched it.

Invented "better devices" were of great assistance to whoever won.

But how many Americans die on the roads each year?

So just how good is the motor car?

What will americans do when oil runs out?

Its better to stay at home and pipe your music through some 
ever so slightly noisy tubes than go out searching for an 
ultimate experience.

But most western civilisations are afflicted by the 
affluenza disease where the more you get, the more you want.

We are gonna affluend the whole ****ing planet.

Not by tommorrow, but in a thousand years things will have to be very
different indeed
if our species is to survive; hint, let's genetically modify our
species,
and then we can live in any sort of world. First we have GM crops,
then GM animals, and why the heck not GM people?

If we get all the problems we see around us fixed, we'll get bored out
of our minds,
so ppl will think of new exciting things, like having GM kids
to win gold medals at the Olympics, and then we will move right along
from there.....
All the rules we know now are set to be broken by the coming explosion
of knowledge.
