It's a reflection of real life. Almost every nation has an atrocity in its history or has turned a blind eye to a bad situation to protect its interests. That doesn't mean individuals can't take up the banner of being a good hero or an evil villain. You can have a moustache twisting, sadist NAC minister and an ESU Mother Teresa or vice versa. The governments of the future, governing ever growing populations on dozens of worlds are going to get bigger, more corrupt and increasingly unwieldy (unless Jon says so, of course <g>). Governments go where the power and money lead them, and rarely is that on the right path. Just my ramblings, Nathan > -----Original Message----- line > JT
