I hate to waste more time on the TML with this PC business,
so I'll keep it brief.
I can't speak for you guys, but in my neck of the woods, the
"PC oppressiveness" problem doesn't come from the "euphamism-
of-th-week" bunch but from the hard consrvative types who
label anything to the left of themselves as PC and generally
use the word as a verbal bludgeon.
There's more "correctness" out there than just the "PC" variety.
Anyway, back to Traveller:
Allegedly the Zho's started the Fronteir Wars as sort of
preemptive strikes, to keep the Impies at a safe distance.
As for why they didn't go after DoD, find one and think at him...
