In Response To: Re: Political Structures in Marathon (Tru7h)

: i was always under the impression that Durandal was a personality construct,
: and thus single minded. Durandal couldent talk to 2 people at the same
: time since it would mean 2 Durandals and ultimately lead to Schizofrenia
: (or the properly phrased version of it)

Okay, so whats the good in having thousands of terminals all over a ship when you can only access the construct one at a time. Besides, "personality" really has nothing to do with how many people you can talk to at any one time.

: Durandal, being immensly inteligent, can easily find the best man for the JOB
: at hand.

Until you can show that Durandal actively picked Blake as human leader I can't accept that.

: nope. besides you dont give a weapon to somebody that dosent want too, all
: sorts of absurd and dangerous things happen.

How about this...one moment you access the final screen in M1 and the next you're on Lh'owon with a gun in your hand. 17 years had passed. You were sleeping. Show me the consent.

: first part; Blake was definately Leader from day 1

There's no evidence to prove nor disprove this, and I was merely pointing out that it would be foolish to say that is is definately true or untrue.

: as a derogative statement, like a racist saying a black guy is commanding
: him.

oh, my bad.

: he like all the Bobs were in stasis in transit. if he was awake he would of
: had total control over the infantry,

Again, its ridiculous to make absolute statements here, we are never given enough info to determine what Blak did or didn't do on Boomer.

: Durandal can do whatever he wants

Exactly. If this is true, then he doesn't need a second in command. (unless you're being derogatory again)

: going bact to totalitarian Dictatorship, if you insist on putting a
: govermental structure on everything, you will quicly notice that we are
: constantly under a Dictatorship (wich is only as bad as the Dictator)
: (scool comes to mind)

Constantly under dictatorship...could you elaborate?
