uplifting species where do you stop? If you uplift dogs, why not cats?
Why not squids? (They're smarter than you think). In fact, why not

The moral of this story is: 1. Don't mess with the National Rifle
Association. 2. If you do mess with them, make damn sure you have your
facts right before you publish anything.

This author makes a good point. People who claim Islam is a religion of
peace are turning a blind eye to history. If Islam was a religion of
peace there would never have been a Battle of Tours. The Moslems are

Actually, I'm the one looking for census data on the Uplift planets.
Alberto was very helpful in correcting some errors in my database. He
also suggested we could all guess on the population figures if an error
of 1 magnitude is acceptable. I'm not comfortable with that much error
though.

I disagree. The characters in Star Wars are cardboard cutouts. The
plot is pure space opera. What made Star Wars great was the special
effects and the music.

Smart people tend to take the definition of words literally. Therefore
anti-Semite can mean anti-Arab. However, smarter people know language
is not always logical. So just go with the flow and don't argue over
what words should mean. Instead, accept them for what they do mean.
