I think it's perfect. I'll bet Leonard Nimoy does too.

I’m sure Leonard Nimoy and Gene Roddenberry are having a good old time right now.

Apparently Leonard Nimoy was born in Boston, so he was close. At least in orbital terms.

He was a jerk liberal. Heard him talk in the 80s.

That's sad to hear, but I never saw or heard it. I'll continue to harbor good feelings about his contribution to American culture.

I've lost enough heroes to the left.

Yes sad. I got to meet Peter, Paul and Mary. Had a nice short chat with Mary and play their music on guitar often, then I saw (video of) her funeral where John Kerry eulogized her. The audience...all enemies of the state...shocked me. So I block it out and play on, but it is lurking. Funny, I never knew, never even took time to suspect. Sad. Wish I hadn’t seen the truth.
