Was all this bloodshed and deceit - from Columbus to Cortes, Pizarro the Puritans - a necessity for the human race to progress from savagery to civilization? Was Morison right in burying the story of genocide inside a more important story of human progress? Perhaps a persuasive argument can be made - as it was made by Stalin when he killed pesants for industrial progress in the Soviet Union, as it was made by Churchill explaining the bombings of Dresden and Hamburg, and Truman explaining Hiroshima. But how can the judgement be made if the benefits and losses cannot be balanced because the losses are either unmentioned or mentioned quickly?

Member Quotes About Cortes

Trate as pessoas com cortesia e você verá como isso realmente é valioso. Custa pouco, mas paga um bom dividendo e constrói a sua honra. A polidez e o senso de honra têm esta vantagem: nós os concedemos aos outros sem perder nada.

A cortesia esta para A INSPIRACAO como o calor para a cera. Assim como a cera, por natureza dura e seca, se derrete com um pouco de calor, podendo adquirir qualquer forma, as pessoas duronas e hostis podem, com um pouco de cortesia e amabilidade, ser inspiradas a tornar-se flexiveis e solicitas.
