Unfortunately fiction becomes fact. The above episode is The Omega Glory. A plurality of this country no longer understands what the U.S. Constitution is about, at its core. Oh the peaceful transition of power happened. But the rights of individuals died a bit yesterday. Hopefully in time it can be restored.
Update:
There were other factors in play...
But ultimately more than 50% of voters are ignorant
Individual rights will continue to disappear as the needs of the many out weight the needs of the few. Spock said so.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in the real world, it is the few who provide the for the needs of the many. Once the few get tired of working hard and being ripped off by the many, they will stop and everyone will wonder what the bleep just happened.
Didn't Spock say that too? Oh wait, that was Rand.
DeleteAnd of course, it was not Spock actually saying that, it was Gene Roddenberry. I liked his work on Have Gun, Will Travel too.
