	Hmmmm.. I wonder if Robert Heinlein and a few others in the 
Science Fiction community are right: They claim that when a race begins to
migrate over great distances, primarily the smarter, more survivable types
migrate. A case in point: the first people to migrate from Europe to this 
country in non-government sponsored groups were basically fed up with most
of what their world/governments were doing, but rather than sitting around
and whining about it, they got up, went out, and did something about it. 
"The hell with this, we're leaving!"  It's going to interesting to see if
this happens when we start the next migrations outward, be it to the stars, or
to the other planets, earth orbit, or wherever.
