Hi! I was going to mention "And Then There Was None" - a SF story by Eric Frank Russell. After the 'Great Explosion' humans were spread throughout the galaxy. Each planet hosted a bunch of people with a specific philosophy, or religion. There, they practiced their ideas and built their civilizations.
Now a mighty ship was touring these planets to bring them back into the arms of mother Earth. (Actually, to make them conform to earth standards, which were obviously proper,) I loved this story and to check Russel's name I tried Google. I found the complete story and enjoyed it again immensely (after 50 years!). You'll recall my comment that I probably learned all my early philosophy from science fiction. This was one of the influences. I think everyone will enjoy Earth's encounter with the Gands. You'll find it here. http://www.abelard.org/e-f-russell.htm Harry ****************************** Harry Pollard Henry George School of LA Box 655 Tujunga CA 91042 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (818) 352-4141 Fax: (818) 353-2242 *******************************
