Well I'll try to sum this up;
Some of you seem to think (almost religiously, to borrow a
phrase from Hans) that a society which includes a
substantial number of people, in fact, a majority, I believe,
who are denied what we currently consider basic, minmal hu-
man rights, can be, possibly, a virtual utopia. (No Dane, it's
not *just* voting rights proles are denied, they have vir-
tually no rights at all, especially if the Tavrchedl get on
their case)
I find this more unbelievable, much more as a matter of fact,
than 'thruster plates'.
I guess that about says it all.

p.s. How come no one complains about psionics when it's just
as much magic as 'thruster plates etc '? I always figured
GDW threw it in originally because everyone "knew" you couldn't
publish an rpg profitably w/o emulating TSR's 'magic' & 'wizards'
in (A)D&D. Ergo psionics!
