Are people who do not use modern technology savages?  Or are the 
savages the people who tear down the trees, pave over the ground with 
concrete, and erect factories and power plants which spew out dirty 
air?  Us wealthy white Americans and Europeans are accustomed to 
hearing people with darker skin, from less technologic societies, 
referred to as savages but modern technology is pretty damn savage if 
you ask me.  Dont get me wrong, I love computers and rocket ships and 
dont want to live without electricity, but it all comes at a very, 
very high price, and the relative savageness of different cultures is 
pretty subjective.
