   I just don't think we're exploring this idea of racial differences between   
   alien species.  So far its all color of skin.  In the case of Andorians why   
   not have big and little antennae? Andorian social scientists could ruminate   
   on the correlation between antennae size and intelligence, and Andorian   
   chicks could have a preference they don't like to talk about to the small   
   anntennae guys, because they wouldn't want to hurt their feelings.   
      
   Maybe the short antennae's got really jealous at the long antennaes and   
   enslaved them for hundreds of years. Or the short antennaes need compensate   
   by watching bad sci - fi and posting to usene....   
      
   Never mind.
