> Rich, who thinks it would all look the same to a godlike alien.

One comment on this last statement.  The worst of Trek to me was the
superior aliens who looked down on humans for fighting, but were so
powerful that they didn't need to defend themselves violently...they had
nice easy options that did no more than burn fingers.  Well, even the
original Trek crew didn't fight when there was an easy alternative.  I
cannot imagine looking down on the moral of those who have limited choices,
pointing to one's own power as proof of superior morals.
