> if we want the good ones to show themselves we need to give up many of our rights (Ex. Guns).
You think the "good ones" would be the ones asking to give up your weapons, when those "good ones" are very likely facing the same threats from (and fighting against) the "bad ones"?
I guess greer&co do.. if anyone thinks that is the case, use logic.
This war is on all levels… and that would also include between positive races and those who seek destruction and/or dominance/control.
A good parent/teacher/ overseer (race) would teach the student (human) how to effectively defend themselves against the threats they would face, , including how to build the necessary tools- not pretend to be a magic force that can counter everything and leave them defenseless if they weren't around.
