Where are the savages these days? Laos, one of the poorest countries in the world has no savages. I know, 'savages', not the right word... but is there similar modern one? Really, 'person' is probably the only safe word you could use to describe someone... Anyway, I know people are people anywhere you go.... but I'd really rather their culture be less like mine. I swear in my lifetime it wasn't always like this. 5 family villages now have satellite systems next to their bamboo huts. I know, I know, this is good for the people & all... but is it really? Is the Western stress-centric lifestyle so good or is it just my own selfishness that makes me long for the good 'ole days when they'd ask how long it takes to walk from America....
