It is this single characteristic of UOL that I find both so
fascinating and so valuable. UOL is fostering experimentation with
social and cultural models. Its a lot cheaper than Cuba, cleaner than
the endless 5yr plans, and potentially a *LOT* more varied than
Americana. Its also the single point which challenges the most
un-examined assumptions in players, and which they thus find
uncomfortablely alien; to whit, "Its not fair!"
