How many M-16s, and how much ammo do we
get to take with us? <g>
Actually, you don't need to go back that
far to see what would happen with such a
culture clash scenario. Just a few
centuries ago Europeans traveled to a
distant and primitive land... and
conquered it. "A couple hundred of us"
technocrats could probably whip Medieval
asses in less time than it took for
yankees to build a transcontinental
railroad from scratch.
Conclusion: Myth may have its power, but
science kicks butt (and saves lives when
appropriate).
