[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Evil_Lord: [QB] Pin'A'Sov: Your comparison with the ant "society" is IMHO not entirely accurate: ants are relatively simple lifeforms without (we don't really know) self-awareness. The Borg, however, are very much selfaware. I think that what happened is that sometime in the Borg history (before they became linked) all of their people agreed to some sort of "vote" in which they were asked (really, really speculative I know) to join this new cybernetic consciousness they had come up with (not very dissimilar to what is occuring on our planet now, the integration of the Internet into everyone's lives or the implementation of micro-electronics into our bodies for instance could be the beginning of a society not unlike the Borg). The "Queen" could have been a high member of the pre-Borg civilisation (the Empress so to speak) who either voluntarely or forcefully became the "manager" (the network server to use a computer term) of this new joined life. I wish the ST writers would spend some more time on this Borg history instead of coming up with stupid VOY episodes which we've already seen twice. It would be worth it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
