“Great Kryptonian political writers: Sun Tzu and Machiavelli,” Clark said with a grin.
“We both forgot about superhearing,” Wanda muttered back to Kal-El.
Oh, and I liked the pun at Macchiavelli and Sun Tzu. This whole exchange borders on both serious and hilarious.
I definitely loved the explanation Wanda and Kal give for their assumption that Kryptonians and (terran) humans are one and the same species. Pretty accurate, but there's one more thing to consider: Horses and donkeys are able to crossbreed, but their common offspring are infertile. In order to prove that the humans from Krypton and earth are one species, the children of Lois and Clark (or Wanda and Kal-El) must be proven fertile - preferably with both races mother races...

“They will if you will,” Clark pointed out. “Or is the whole ‘Krypton was the most evolved and enlightened society in the known twenty-eight galaxies’ a bunch of crap, cause what I see here, and what I experienced on New Krypton, tells me that Krypton was and is ruled by a bunch of racial and religious bigots. Quite frankly, right now I'm ashamed to admit I'm even one of you.”
Good idea: Get them where it hurts the most - their pride in their "advanced civilisation"!
More, ASAP, please!
