Andrew Bailey writes: Why? Well he is a well read, highly intelligent individual who understands social systems quite well, but for some reason is completely unable to see why his marxist revolution is doomed to failure. That depends on how you consider it a failure. He has decided that his people should not live the way they do any longer. If he topples the Empire, he wins. If the Empire slaughters them, they are no longer living the way they were, so it's also a win. The Jenoine? He wouldn't, would he? He might. It seems unlikely they would. Anyways sorry for the long rant, but he profoundly irritates me. He's an irritating fellow, and he seems to revel in it. He has, even for an Easterner, a remarkably short sight. Good thing there aren't any people like that in our world. rone -- Constancy of the speed of light is a conclusion, yes it is a conclusion based on nonconvincing, irrational assumptions.
