LoL!! I like the idea of airlifting in our Urban Assault Vehicles. We can establish a beachhead at 0600. Recon should take the better part of the morning, and we can spend the rest of the time indoctrinating the locals.
Let's rename each of the natives with a keyword from the Oracle reserved keyword list. Then, we could reward them when they unwittingly line up in a syntactically correct fashion.

Ross,
How about that place from Survivor I, Tigua Pulau (spelling?). We could
organize an invading army of DBA's and take over. We'll have to work
out
the logistics of getting our non-amphibious SUV's over there, but once
there, there shouldn't be too much resistance.
By the way, I mentioned no lawyers, televisions, user community, or
developers, but forgot one thing - PC's running Windows! The
frustration
could cause disruption in our Utopian society...
