Nevertheless
,
let
's
assume
that
the
human
race
manages
to
balance
birth
and
death
,
just
right
to
fit
its
own
planets
,
and
thereby
becomes
peaceful
.
What
happens
?
Soon
(
about
next
Wednesday
)
the
Bugs
move
in
,
kill
off
this
breed
which
"
ai
n'ta
gon
na
study
war
no
more
"
and
the
universe
forgets
us
.
Which
still
may
happen
.
Either
we
spread
and
wipe
out
the
Bugs
,
or
they
spread
and
wipe
us
out
--
because
both
races
are
tough
and
smart
and
want
the
same
real
estate
.
Do
you
know
how
fast
population
pressure
could
cause
us
to
fill
the
entire
universe
shoulder
to
shoulder
?
The
answer
will
astound
you
,
just
the
flicker
of
an
eye
in
terms
of
the
age
of
our
race
.
Try
it
--
it
's
a
compound-interest
expansion
.
But
does
Man
have
any
"
right
"
to
spread
through
the
universe
?
Man
is
what
he
is
,
a
wild
animal
with
the
will
to
survive
,
and
(
so
far
)
the
ability
,
against
all
competition
.
Unless
one
accepts
that
,
anything
one
says
about
morals
,
war
,
politics
--
you
name
it
--
is
nonsense
.
Correct
morals
arise
from
knowing
what
Man
is
--
not
what
do
gooders
and
well-meaning
old
Aunt
Nellies
would
like
him
to
be
.
The
universe
will
let
us
know
--
later
--
whether
or
not
Man
has
any
"
right
"
to
expand
through
it
.
In
the
meantime
the
M.
I.
will
be
in
there
,
on
the
bounce
and
swinging
,
on
the
side
of
our
own
race
.
Toward
the
end
each
of
us
was
shipped
out
to
serve
under
an
experienced
combat
commander
.
This
was
a
semifinal
examination
,
your
'
board-ship
instructor
could
decide
that
you
did
n't
have
what
it
takes
.
You
could
demand
a
board
but
I
never
heard
of
anybody
who
did
;
they
either
came
back
with
an
upcheck
or
we
never
saw
them
again
.
Some
had
n't
failed
;
it
was
just
that
they
were
killed
--
because
assignments
were
to
ships
about
to
go
into
action
.
