Hmm, and i wonder where they got the technology from? Does
it count if the technology was stolen? For instance, if i
steal the source of Python and then proclaim to be the
*true* BDFL of Python, then do i get all the credit for
Python's existence?

    I DON'T THINK SO!

You're also ignoring a tiny thing called: "upward mobility".
In the 20th century, the whole of the American people gained
upward mobility. Anyone who dares to claim that a major
transformation of American society has not occurred, must be
blind to history!

Attaining advanced weaponry and scientific achievements is
nothing unless your people are benefiting *POSITIVELY* from
those advancements -- my statement was about transforming
*societies*, not about who popped the most Viagra pills and
achieved the largest erection in finite time!

Farms did not vanish after the atomic/space ages, no,
societies still require food. But for the vast majority of
Russians, not a whole lot has changed. Sure, they have the
technology to fight wars on a global stage, but what good is
a strong arm without the guidance of a strong and *FREE*
mind? What good is ultimate power if you cannot improve you
own well being? -- just ask any genie trapped in a bottle!

If history has taught us anything, it is that, intelligence
will *ALWAYS* defeat brute strength, and that the *MOST*
intelligent societies are consequently those who possess
both a humbled respect for freedom, and a vile rejection of
oppression.
