Its pretty much a story, and it goes like this: "Ages ago, there were conscientious shepherds whose sheep were well tended and carefully protected against attack by their rapacious enemies. Twelve hundred thousand years ago there appeared before these first earthmen, at night, a spaceship powered by seven stone and iridium electric motors. It had originally been launched on its long trip into stellar space in the search for neighboring stars that might have planets revolving about them that were inhabitable and on which planets a new race of intelligent humanity might propagate itself and rejoice for life, without fear of attack by other intelligent beings from interstellar space."

I think alphabetical discrimination is so interesting because now thinking back to how at the beginning of the year my 4th grade teacher made all of her lists A-Z and it was buisness as usual, but midway through the year she decided to start alternating so we would have one list A-Z then one Z-A and thinking back to it now, the last bit of that class was the best time in my whole elementary school experience, it turns out most of the “bad” kids in my class were the ones usually at the bottom of the A-Z list. Strange
