Like I said, things like Manifest Destiny, the Marshall Plan, and the dropping of Atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima are things that would qualify as "Seldon Crises" in Asimovian terms. Consider the alternatives at the time knowing what was known then. There are a number of points in history where I would argue that Lawful Evil decisions had to be made for the greater good. You should read On the Genealogy of Morality. Moral philosophy is interesting. I remember liking this book and have been meaning to read it again... eventually. <cite>GunslingerGunsl posted [p:949757786] in I don't re...
