Kirk installed a subroutine in the simulator's programming which allowed him to win

Kirk was a meteorologist for the CRU?

Beam me up, Scotty. I’m tired of this s*it.

Kirk was a meteorologist for the CRU?

Now that's funny, right there!

[Pessimist]

Or an Acorn organizer! :)

[Army Air Corps]

That was damned funny. Kudos, sir.

Gault’s way is out. He had a place to run to. There are no more places like that so Kirk and we conservatives have to take back our “place”. (the whole USA) And like our opposition (liberals, Marxist, communist,Democrats)and we have to do it any damn way we can. What ever it takes. I hope not with arms but it may come to that in the future.

Galt: "I swear by my Life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine."

Kirk: "KAHN!!!!!!!"

Consider someone who actually lived: George Washington. He backed away from many conflicts to save his Army to fight again on another day on his own terms. When the time was right, he hit back - HARD and completely by surprise.

You don’t have to choose Kirk or Galt. You can be a Washington.

It doesn’t matter who you follow.....just stay well away from the fifth person in the five-man landing party!!

And then there are days where I feel more like Captain Kirk, wanting to confront the ideas of collectivism and Marxism and explain to people that that road leads to the destruction of the individual.

You mean like Ayn Rand did? While confronting the evil of collectivism she justified the removal of the sanction of the victim. Kirk and Galt, combined.

Yea, wake me up and tell me it's only a dream from the alternate universe episode Mirror, Mirror.

The writer neglects to add that the “rebooted Star Trek” is an insane failure of a drama in which cadets are given command of capital ships, the timeline is twisted for dramatic effect (i.e. lazy writing), and idiotic special effects substitute for the real physical universe. “Star Trek” is what many have become: observers who want to be taken care of despite reality. And as many of us know, reality is something that is strictly enforced, sooner or later.

Good point! I forgot about NY-23

KIRK: "I don't believe in a no-win Election"

[Logic n' Reason]

Any body knows you can't follow Galt!!!!! He was a fictional character!

Now Kirk....he's real.....or.....ummmm.....er.....will be real!

Shouldn't that be Bill O’Reilly in that picture with that caption?

How many hot, green, alien chicks did John Galt get it on with?
