Ah, yet again you are wrong, O BaseShip Breath!
By this bunch, I am talking about that generation, those who have served in whatever capacity, in the Colonial government prior to the Holocaust. They are of a mindset, and I am not afraid to see it as a thing of their class. Like people who still believe and think as if Jim Crow were still a reality, or Communism was still the shining path to the future, or whatever. As a group, and they are for the most part "elder statesmen", they hve not truly changed, inside. Perhaps, after BE, they did. We certainly didn't see any more Council stupidity after that. True, it was only a few eps.
