By the data to date, there is only one animal in the galaxy dangerous to man - - man himself. So he must supply his own indispensable competition. He has no enemy to help him.
All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children. All else is surplus-age, excrescence, adornment, luxury or folly which can -- and must -- be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function. As racial survival is the only universal morality, no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a "perfect society" on any foundation other than "Women and Children First!" is not only witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (All of them male) have tried endlessly---and no doubt will keep on trying.
