"(on a side note here, I never understood why different types of people are called different 'races', as you do not call a poodle to be of a different race then a schnauzer. Indeed, isn't there just one race of humans? The Human race?)"

Amen. I just wish more people would realize this, eveyone is human (even lawyers....or tax collectors ). People just put too much emphasis on race (both for and against). We're people. Lets just leave it at that and get on with our lives.

There is only one human SPECIES. Race is more like nationality. Of course, some people living in different environmnents have some unique adapatations that are normally not found anywhere else.

Edit: Yes some racial Groups are "extinct". Some ethnic Groups in siberia are now gone, Native tribes were almost entirely killed off, and some of the first nations/ethnicities are gone, hauled off by a stronger power or massacred

The pure blood Hawians are few in number. The rest either intermarried or died of disease.

So there are natural forces at work besides one tribe of monkeys beating another one with sticks.

I'm living in the South (Florida in particular),and believe it or not, I see a lot of interracial couples. Sure, we got some rednecks down here who probably still have their sheets hanging in the back of their closet, but from what I've seen since I've lived here is that it's not such a big thing anymore.

Hate to beat a dead horse, but here in Ontario they just put Farscape on syndication with ANOTHER set of TV stations.

So far, that makes 3 stations showing Farscape in Ontario (all of them are at different points in the series).

We get Farscape on TV on Monday at 8:00pm, Friday at 8:00pm and 9:00pm (twice with 2 different stations showing different episodes) Saturday at 3:00pm and Sunday 2:00pm (however, one Friday, Saturday and Sunday show the same episode).

I really believe that this show is finally taking off, 'Ratings' here are fairly high (as it is given very favorable timeslots). Unfortunately I beleive it will do a 'Star Trek' and really only take off after its cancellation. However, this might lead to what happened with a few other shows.

Star Trek started to go to the movies (possibly the Farscape season finale will be finished in a movie, or made for TV movie).

A Canadian show called Nikita (based off of the French la Femme Nikita) ended after so many years, but the fan base responded with a letter campaign that had them do another 1/2 season to finish off the show right, instead of the quick ending they had before.

So, Farscape may not be saved as it is, but it could come back if it does very well in syndication in different forms (movies, a short season to end the show, or a new series).

Another thing to keep in mind is that every planet is different posing different sets of enviromental challenges. These in turn trigger a degree of evolution.
