A Trillion dollars. What price do we put on our freedom. Eh the freedom not
to become a planet of free range organ transplants that is. Tasha quoted the
often quoted "The best defense is a good offense." There is a old quote from
the Roman Empire that goes "If you want peace be prepared for war." The
quote is very telling as when the Romans stopped wanting to play the high cost of
fighting their enemies their Empire fell. So when Henderson don't want to
pay the cost he is like one of those comfortable fat old Roman Senators tell the
commander of the Legions , Straker(well he has the haircut for it<g>) that
it cost too much to fight the enemys on their home planet.
