qaghItlhneS:

  I love when people make statements like this.. "not, never, always" are
pretty final... When it comes to the world of Trek, one should NEVER use
them ;-)

  So, on that point, I'd like to point out, that in the TNG episode "Genesis"
we see that the Klingon race came from a pretty "aggressive" past.  We can go
on the assumption that they started out in this aggressive state, evolved
into a less-aggressive then re-evolved into the warrior race as you have
indicated...

  But, that's hard to swallow... with the CANON information that we have, it
seems more plausible that tlhInganpu' have ALWAYS been aggressive...
