Star Trek is a socialist paradise where everyone works for the good of others and believe in peace above all things.
But for some reason, they lock up the weapons. You would think that guns would be lying out on the coffee table in this world.
Our current world allows guns just strewn about your apartment. I can only assume that things in the Roddenbury world are just full of violent outbursts.
And for the record, I like the Ferengi.
I always dug them, too. Unashamedly Capitalist and sexist, and whenever I feel the need for an elbow to my ribs from the fetching Ms. Wheelman all I have to say is: “Ah, a clothed female. How entrancing!”
Tea Party also took baths and had jobs ... unlike that other celebrated progressive bowel movement....
I had a racist dog. Absolutely went nuts whenever any black people were around.
Marking.
Dear Kurt: I am a 48 year-old progressive, unionized fifth grade teacher who lives alone with her three beloved and diverse kitties, Fluffums, Ticklebunny and Hillary. Lately, I think Ticklebunny, whose coat is a creamy white, has been microaggressing Fluffums, whose coat is a rich ebony. I think Ticklebunny may be racist. Also, every night when I come home with a single serving Trader Joe’s entrée and a bottle of Charles Shaw chardonnay, Hillary is sitting on my computer keyboard and the browser history has been erased. What should I do? Signed, Cat Lives Matter
Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa CAT LIVES MATTER!!!!
One thing satan can’t handle is mocking.
My neighbor, Carol, since moved told me once when they lived in Mississippi that their Huskie would lose his dog mind whenever he saw any black folks.
Indeed, in DS9, Armin Shimerman as Quark developed sympathetic aspects and had some admirable moments. Nevertheless, although DS9 was the grittiest and most realistic of the Star Trek shows, even it shied away from anything that suggested a critique of the implicit naive socialism that animated Star Trek’s vision. The show runners no doubt knew that their essential audience of teen age and up boys did not want to see any tampering with the show’s formula of hot chicks, adventuring in space, and an eternal single life with no need to get a real job and take up the joys and burdens of marriage and raising kids.
DS9 was one of my favorites too. Covered topics about economics, religion, etc., that were ongoing on the station.
Like Lee Oswald and Charles Whitman?
I've got a large pit bull that's the same way. I've got signs up warning trespassers. UPS just honkeys the horn. < /pun>. None of that BLM crap in my current rural area, we all have guns.
