Writer's Block: Can you handle the truth?

[Error: unknown template qotd]

May I have two questions?
[Either way.] Is there sentient, civilized life on other planets?
[If I got two questions] May I have a World History textbook from each such planet ETA: translated into 2000 CE American English? [Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] ceo!] I'll give them one of ours each in exchange (I cannot promise to translate it, though).

(I want to know if their histories are as full of struggles and inequities and violence as ours. I suspect yes, but I only have one planet's history to work from.)

Damn, you're right, but I'd never have thought of that!

Though I think their struggles and inequities and violence wouldn't be the interesting part, as someone said, "Life is the conjugation of the verb 'to eat', in the active and passive voice." But what a trove of knowledge!

What happens if you get a billion (literally) books dumped on your doorstep, though?
