*** > From the little reading/history shows I've done/seen on the period, It makes great cinema though. *** The little I've read sez the same thing about your descriptions, but I'd hoped, vainly I see, that one thrown-off comment wouldn't cause a totally OT post such as yours. *** Just look what happened to Jesse Jame's gang in Northfield Minnesota, to see what happened when the "defenseless townsfolk" reacted fast enough to respond in force to a raid. *** If I care to comment, in detail, on a fairly atypical occurance fairly late in the settling process, as much of your comments are, given my own Nebraska was a state within three years of the end of Civil War, I'll send it directly. *** Wasn't there a (bloodthirsty to carnivores/omnivores) vegetarian race In Traveller - some kind of Centaur type race? *** K'kree. There was a 'herd' mentality; I think, as opposed to pack mentality. It seemed a subtle difference: both weakened resolve if not working with those of close ties. The_Beast -Douglas J.
