Re: On-going KV debate

To a certain extent, yes, and all very good points.  However, I want it 
understood that I was not necessarily referring to the KV specifically,
only 
using them as an example.  And the fact remains, despite the clans, they

still are, in the end, fairly unified when it comes to how they deal
with 
other races and with space exploration.  As for the trend towards
political 
unification on Earth, I'll believe it when I see it.

The point was, WE achieved space flight without unification, why can't
other 
races? I'd love to see a story line where, when humans meet this other 
culture, after a few years of tension and even conflict between us and
the 
aliens, we start learning more about each other, and building alliances
- 
not necessarily alliances between all human nations to fight the aliens,
but 
between certain alien "nations" if you will and our own, tenuous at
first 
due to xenophobia, but growing, until the interplay between the aliens
and 
between us and the aliens is as diverse and complex as our own
interaction.

OUR differing views come out a hell of a lot more often, why shouldn't 
theirs?

- the differing
views only came out in small moments. I think this goes a long way to
addressing your points.
