Now, this sort of thing really annoys me.
There is no "noble savage" thing. Just because someone is starving doesn't
mean
they are blameless.
Sure, there are a lot of issues here that probably don't need to be brought
up in a
discussion in a "cars" newsgroup ... but aren't there are quite a few
deserts that were
made by "non-western" people?
