Dismiss it?! I've been discussing it with these fellows for years on the list, and years before that on GEnie with mantiss and Hartwell and the gang. Trying to reverse engineer a framework of moral philosophy is not easy, and you being dismissive of me is not helping anyone.<div class="Ih2E3d">

I'm not quite sure what moral segregation is, but it sounds like relativism, and if you believe it applies to this situation then I don't understand what you could talk about for years. There is then no ethical quandary and the sacrifice of Urth is just a necessity that isn't even terribly regrettable. What moral problem did you have in mind then?<br>
