Starship Claus

I. Today, I'll be talking about Starship Troopers. Wait, don't leave yet! I don't mean the campy film adaptation or the poorly animated TV show, but instead I'll be talking about the relatively philosophical book. You might still want to leave because the book might be philosophical in, ah, undesirable ways, but I'll only be talking about a small part of the book. In between a discussion of how best to kill alien aggressors and an aside about how nice it was to have women around while not killing aliens, there's a little vignette about a planet.
