“There's one bright spot in the generally gloomy picture know as the Pacific Conflict Zone. According to my calculations, by the year 2500 or so we should have killed off every last member of our species who is stupid enough to take part in so futile a pastime as this war between "ideals," and with luck they won't have left their genes behind because they'll typically have been killed at an age when society thinks they're too young to assume the responsibility of childbearing. After that we may get some peace and quiet for a change.” ThinkingKnowsShouldYearsMayHas BeensWarEnoughAgeLastsYoungLeftBehindsResponsibilityStupidQuietConflictMembersIdealsShould HaveLuckAssumingSpeciesSpotsZoneGenesCalculationsPacificGloomyPastimePeace And QuietChildbearing Author:John Brunner
