So, by your reading, during W.W. II, in-between writing the first and second voumes of the trilogy, Dr. Asimov really shouldn't have been working (along with Heinlein and DeCamp) at the Naval Air Experimental Station at the Philadelphia Navy Base here? With him being such a total pacifist and all, both his enlisting in the Army and working to develop weapons systems surely would have been hypocritical. [/quote] News to me. Maybe it was, I’m not sure. The books to me certainly suggest that it was. The key point in the books certainly seems to me to be the use of intelligence instead of violence to resolve problems. I'd have to reread now but maybe it does suggest that there are situations where violence is unavoidable. What exactly was he working on?

My point being that not all violence is evil. That was either the point you were making, or absolutely contradicted your point, I'm not sure which.

That was my origional point, i still don't know what you were talking about apart from a good chance to tundle out some fancy terms for the blindingly obvious.

I'll take note that spelling criticism is once again fair game, too. :-)
