In regards to the proposed question..Dilemma is whether to leave them to fate or push for assimilation.

I feel it is more honorable to leave them to fate to self evolve as a new world infringes upon them. What about you?

I say parachute them a small wood stove fired electrical generator along with satellite internet connectivity and a few dozen Macs.

In 5 years they'll all be developers and demanding $200 an hour for their services.

I know you probably wrote that as a joke RL but I currently use a kid from equador to do some of my design work. He is absolutely brilliant at CSS and I don't have to pay him anywhere close to $200 an hour.
