Do you like Klingons?

Actually... a number of alien species in ST have multiple "races." Vulcans most certainly do. Tuvok and Spock, anyone?

yeah, so, see? 2,000 years and the vulcan's should have come up with the federation. in fact, given that vulcan's(ignoring some horrible changes in later series) don't lie, they'd have a much better chance of making a federation than some unknown. granted, the presence of vulcan as one of the founding member's would help the humans, but...2,000 years...and nothing to show for it. yeah, right.

The horrible binding to logic and divorce from all emotion that the Vulcans has causes them to not be very ingenius or creative and to be unwilling to take risks, basically because endangering yourself is illogical. Various vulcans have stated stuff like that in various series.

however, Spock has shown himself willing to take calculated risks. granted, Spock is a special case.

but that still doesn't address 2,000 years of nothing.

Spock was half human.

The thing to keep in mind is that the Vulcan, according fan lor and cannon, were war like until they adopted the way of surek. After that they all just got along. They enjoyed their new found logic and way of life, and developed a holly than though attitude toward races that reminded them of who they once were. Kinda like how you are better than the loosers in your family.

In Enterprise the capitolized upon this.
