The Conservative Structure to the Uplift Universe: Galactics all depend upon the Library (Oh save us, save us, big government) Earthclan thinks for itself (individual initiative)
Galactic Civilization is clan, clan, clan (unionism) Earthclan believes in right to work laws. (Freedom of action/choice for chimp & dolphin) Everyone in the Civilization of the Four Galaxies is pigeonholed into a classification. Whales, though never uplifted, are both pre-sapient and transient beings--even if never declared to be so. Planets are asigned on a strict quota system. Earthers are crazy enough to terraform Venus. And so on... OK. Tear it apart. I deserve it. With statistics and quotes out of context, you can attempt to prove anything.
