Re: OT- Anyone read Old man\'s war?
What I want to known is why they didn't build the sidewalk in the correct place!
If you were placed in a room with 100 other potential hostile people would you. Would you start to kill everyone you met or would you try to make an alliance first. (Each would be armed with different tech level of weapons and armor. Being the last to join the group you would have the most primitive forms of each.)
When humans expands into space, it would be to our best interest to make allies. Link our continued existence with their continued existence.
If we try to go it alone then we would be a threat to every race out there. It would be in their best interest for each of them to commit a small force and together wipe us out.

Yes I read the book. Very good! The sequel "Ghost Brigade"(?) is just as good!
