HIstory

The problem with history is it is "His Story". It's like sending a bunch of guys on a hunting and fishing trip and them coming back and telling their families stories about "The one that got away".

So, history of any country is problematic in the beginning, the middle and the end. The only way to mitigate this problem is allowing the "Conquered" to have their say too and not just kill everyone of the conquered and all their women and children too. And down through time most countries (except now for ISIS, ISIL, IS) don't kill all the men, women and children who disagree with them. So, now days we often can get a better sense of what history actually is. But, the further back you go the less sure you are especially about ANY Details at all except who won a battle or a war.

People talk about American History. But for the most part it is an extension of European History(at least how we all began here).

People left Europe because of awful living conditions and they wanted more land and more freedom to worship as they pleased. So, they came here and a whole lot of people died.

In some ways the Native Americans, Central Native Americans, and South American Natives had no chance against Europeans because of numbers.

Native North, South and Central Americans had a different survival strategy than Europeans did. The Native north south and Central American Strategy was basically to not have many children because the land wouldn't support that with the technology they presently had.

But, when Europeans came having 10 kids each with Guns and horses and cannons, over time there was no way to stop the more Ruthless Europeans who had come from hundreds and thousands of years of wars, technology that was developed to fight wars and overpopulation and plagues on down through the centuries.

So, the Native North, South, and Central Americans ruthlessness that had worked for them until the Europeans arrived was basically overcome by numbers and technology. So, no matter how many white people they killed there were more coming and eventually they were going to lose their lands to the whites which they did.

So, those who were smartest interbred with the white people and adopted their ways in order to survive.

A similar thing has taken place in Tibet. When technology and Mao Tse Tung could bring soldiers to high altitudes with trucks and planes and on foot, Tibet couldn't stay the way it was anymore. So, the Native American Cultures protected by a big Atlantic and a big Pacific Ocean gave way to higher technology ships and Mountains that were so high they killed people over 20,000 foot passes (especially killed marching armies of men) were conquered by trucks and planes that could move faster so people could bring enough food and water with them and then tune the trucks and planes for running at higher altitude. So, both the Native Americans and the Tibetan Culture fell to rising numbers and technology.

So, to say what happened to both Native Americans and to Tibetans was bad for them is definite and true.

However, to say that they would have been left alone forever is untrue also.

It was inevitable that both cultures would be forever changed by rising numbers and technology.

 Little did the inventors of the gasoline and diesel reciprocating engines know they would contribute to the fall of Tibet and other countries around the world.

Just like inventors of the autonomous drones (on air, land and sea and lakes and rivers) likely don't know yet how many millions are going to die from them who are innocent the rest of this century and beyond. And because of the anonymous nature of drones (who is controlling these drones) may never be known. Because often it will not be the owners of these drones.

Technology in the past conquered nations and raised the general standard of living. However, especially drone technology will simply end millions and potentially billions of lives ongoing and omninously by anyone who uses it.

So, like cluster bombs and land mines, the United Nations must eventually address the ongoing and growing problem of drones.

However, there is going to be a push back from developed nations secretly, because eliminating most of the relatively uneducated people who are against technology to begin with is profitable for more developed countries.

So, the only way I can presently see to stop this problem is to educate the masses so they know that having more than 2 children per family is basically suicidal for the whole human race.

Because you have got to know from past history of wars and overpopulation that it is much more likely the drones will be used first on the uneducated masses who tend to have more than 2 children per family worldwide.

Right now, the main target of drones is ISIS, but eventually they will be used on all uneducated people worldwide. Preparing for this outcome by the United Nations I believe is important.

It is important if you want to live in a more compassionate and civilized and less cruel world.
