I like this statistic, too, but I suspect it's inflated by medics around battlefields not letting people bleed, or rot from infection, to death. anyway, I just wanted to make the point that it's not so clear cut. I think technology is largely good... and whatever it is, it's not going away. 0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decolonization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decolonization
