I'm also wondering how different Human factions would view desecration
of KV
graves, genocide vs. KV, etc. I suppose it depends on your
philosophical
bent, are you an athiest, humanist, religious person, etc? How do you
view
the KV? From a purely darwinian POV, we're two species competing for
the
same niche, and thus the KV desire to annihilate us is understandable.
Of
course, so would our desire to return the favor. From a religious POV,
it
depends on your religious beliefs, cosmology, and how the KV fit into
it.
Are they merely misguided children of the universe, equal creations who
merely need to be convinced to let us live in peace and granola, or are
they
Spawn of the boogeyman himself, worthy only of being consigned to the
darkest uttermost depths of Nebraska? And there's a lot of flavor
variety
in between.
