OT: Galactic sterilisation

Yep. It was a close election because of apathy and dissalusionment. no one cared who won, and it was reflected in the national culture and in the polls. hardly any sense in arguing about it now.

And yes, people already chased themselves in circles just to decide that no one actually had anything against the military, nor thought that all re-enlistees were dumb. We dont actually think that all people working in an office are from Dilbert comic strips, and not all career academics are directionless and without practical value to society.

but some generalizations are ammusing to joke about. like dilbert comic strips, and military inteligence, and hippies from berkeley.

As you say, someone's long term career choice is more of a reflection of what fits their personality and desired style of living, than anything else. There used to be a popular generalization that those who were unfit for any other kind of work, became teachers. Certainly there are some poor teachers out there, but most of them have chosen that role because it fits their personality and their lifes goals.

As for being Greek, you have my condolences regarding the Eastern Roman Empire. They really had a good thing going, and I'm sorry it didnt Last. Unless, of course, you consider your heritage to predate the Levant and stem from the Greek city states of antiquity, in which case my sentiments have been wasted. But if it helps, you have my condolences about them too, as they also had a good thing going.

I myself have no heritage to speak of, and am a sorry example of random breeding.
