Most taxi drivers I have encountered on the other hand, have ranged from standoffish to incredibly rude and sometimes hostile, frequently lying about fares to get more money.
Let me ask you, in which countries have you taken taxis?
I am American, but live in Germany. I have traveled on business to many different European countries. I have rode in taxis in England(Winchester,Southampton), the Netherlands (Delft), France (Nice, Paris), Belgium (Brussels), Greece (Samos), Switzerland (Zurich), Turkey(Istanbul), and just about every which where in Germany. I have never had a negative experience.
I am always polite to the driver, never condescending, and friendly. Guess what? The taxi driver always pays back in kind.
Do you really think they were never visited by a missionary?
Missionary? More likely "Missionary Style"! What is the first thing that they do, when an advanced culture meets a primitive culture? They mutually exchange sexually transmitted diseases!
Who knows? Maybe the villagers were visited by some folks, who didn't want to tell the government where they were, and what they were up to? Like, drug dealers, illegal good miners or illegal loggers?
Or how about contamination that occurred during the testing? People working with Ebola patients were supposed to how to isolate themselves from getting infected. And gee, looked what happened?
4. Why not simply the glow from the universes out that made its way into our space before us?
Maybe the folks in the universe before us turned out the lights before they left . . . ?
It is not a "dodgy piece of dangerous equipment", it is actually very safe.
Just like with an automobile, the biggest danger is "a loose nut behind the steering wheel."
Well, if a catastrophe occurs, and half the human population on the planet dies, then we will have a butt-load of human corpses. Can we somehow use them to generate energy? There be lots of fat in those critters.
And, well, for the survivors, we could enslave a bunch of folks to peddle on fitness studio bikes hooked up to dynamos. Hey, all the electricity you will every need, but you will need to hire the whip guy out of Ben Hur.
So segregated schools would be the obvious (and wrong) answer? Black students go to a school with black teachers, and white kids go to a school with white teachers ?!?!?!
Ah, what ever happened to folks who thought like this:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I guess Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't dreaming . . . give the current state of race relations in the US . . . he was fantasizing.
"640K should be enough for everybody."
She has been in the running for 2016 since the lost the 2008 primary.
I kinda sorta have the feeling that even after she is long dead and buried, she will still be running for President.
playing too much unreal took way more than 5% off of my grades.

I dunno. With Alzheimer's, you lose your ability to create short term memories, but your long term memories remain intact. One sufferer quipped, "I get to meet someone new every day!" So the question is, do dementia sufferers even realize, that they have dementia . . . ?
A relative recently died of terminal lung cancer. She suffered in pain for a year, and knew that there was no hope. Now THAT really sucked. I'm wondering if I was bat-shit crazy, if I would even have the sense to know that I was definitely going to die in pain, really soon. Just pump me up with pain killers, and let me dream away the last days, in a sea of opiates . . .
Expect local ordinances.
I don't think that the drone delivery question will be settled by the FAA, aviation experts or any laws. It will be settled in the courts, by lawyers. When a drone crashes in a park, and turns the face of somebody's child into raw hamburger meat, there will be a massive liability lawsuit.
Game over.
