I didn't know what "psychohistory" was. The term sort of lends itself to misconstruction. I've been pissed at you for months over that.
Ah, I'm sorry. I completely misinterpreted your comment (considering its neighbors). Isaac Assimov wrote some books called the "Foundation Trilogy". In the books the science of 'psychohistory' is developed. It supposedly allowed one to predict the future of socities down to very fine grain detail. When particular messiah's or important leaders would be born, that sort of stuff. Cliology is a related activity but it's more interested in explaining more general behaviours (my assumption is that probability prevents the sort of fine grain proposed by psychohistory) of societies and their cultures. If you've never read the the original books in the series I strongly suggest that you hit a used book store and spend a few dollars. They are a good read just for fun even :) -- ____________________________________________________________________ Kill them all, take their land, and go there for vacation.
