re: #432 calochortus

I actually had an online discussion with someone who remarked after the invasion that the Iraqis would “stumble and scrape their knees” on the way to developing a democracy, but we would help them along. I felt it necessary to point out that they were hardly children and wouldn’t appreciate the attitude.

Back in a less enlightened age, ruling over helpless natives was known as “the white man’s burden”.
