Z man has in fact implied that their fate is our fault. It is not. But he and others feel guilt for the way we live vs the way they do. Why guilt if its not our fault? Thats a question for the Psycs, but not related to the fact that we have nothing to do with it.

Talk about putting "words" in my mouth. Pot, meet kettle.
Again - I never said that it their fate was our fault. What I've said is that they did not have the same opportunities that we've had. There is a big difference between those two concepts.
Snowman -- what would you (or I) do in the following scenario:
We are born into a tribe that lives in an extremely remote area of Irian Jaya. So remote, that the tribe's only contact with the 'outside' world are small skimishes with the neighboring tribes, and the sight of a huge airplane in the sky from time to time. Maybe a missionary would come through from time to time. Early on, we learn how to hunt and gather food, and make a family of our own. We'd live in wood and straw huts along the river.
So - how would you deal with life then? Keep in mind, you would have very little knowledge of the outside world -- and if somone did happen across your tribe and show you some modern stuff like metal objects - how would you react?
