Excellent piece, I have aways thought the same about the original Star Trek series. Remember the episode where the Nazis are back in power? How about the one with the mob bosses running things?

History repeats itself.

I remember the episode that had Kirk and Spock battling this Commissioner that wanted peace through discussion. The bad guys quickly showed the "why don't we just talk it out" Commissioner that he was wrong, and Kirk and Spock had to save him and the rest of the Universe!

Some things never change!

With that, a confused Kirk mugs for the camera as a booming voice informs us that the Enterprise was no more. In fact, it never was. It seems that McCoy's leap through the arch took him into the past where he did something, something that changed history. In fact, what he did erased centuries of human progress, and the crew of the Enterprise never went "boldly where no man has gone before." The authoritative-sounding disembodied voice would not say just what that action was, but Kirk knew that he and Spock had to travel back in time and prevent it at all costs.

I got to this paragraph and immediately thought, "Man, McCoy let the islamists take over. Instead of going forward to the future, they led the world back to the 7th century."

Without the wisdom of Barbara Streisand, this article is just incomplete.

In "The Cage", I find the best picture of the democratic party. The Talosians have placed Captain Pike in the cage with Vina. Pike is P.O.ed and threatens to use his phaser to blow a hole in the wall of the cage. When he does shoot at the wall nothing seems to happen, but in reality, he has blown a hole clean through it.

I often think of this when I hear of the way democrats tend to marginalize Republicans, for example, the true scope of conservative thought. One of the reasons these elections took the liberals by surprise was that after decades of illusory indulgence, they actually think they have more people supporting them than actually exist.

Unlike the Talosians, they have been working hard to reduce the breeding stock through abortion on demand.
