Its as if some Indians showed an Englishman what you can do with
the petroleum that leaked from their ground, and then regretted
western-industrial civilization. A feeling of "oops" (shared by
nukers after WWII, or the inventors of television after seeing what
was broadcast) can be tempered by realizing that it was
inevitable. "Deal with it".
