  1. Yeah, that episode had a vicious end. I remember the scenes of the two guys running through halls of the Enterprise to the transporter room as images of burning buildings and wasted urban landscapes are superimposed over them, each beaming down to their world filled only with the dead to end their days alone with their hatred for one another. It had a deep impact on my young mind on a lot of levels. Very powerful imagery for late 60's and hopefully not prescient for our future, but people who can only see things in binary absolutes will probably be the downfall of the rest of us.

  2. It's almost like there's an established order or class system in place that somehow continues to propagate and support its most well off few at the expense of the larger population while utilizing a well honed, socially weaponized marketing program to help distract, placate and buy off the larger population and a militarized enforcement arm to crush any opposition that starts to get too vocal or close to making real changes to the society they don't approve of being made. I sure am glad I live a free democratic Republic and not that dystopian nightmare!

  5. Regardless of who actually said it, the base of both parties are guilty of the "You can fool ... some of the people all the time" part of that old adage. Whether they fall in love or fall in line, anyone who still identifies as either of the two parties and votes purely on party loyalty is a gullible fool of the worst kind. Part of the difference is that Republicans will turn out for a guy like Trump who appeals to that jingoistic worst-part-of-us, sometimes even more so. Democrats sing the songs of putting people first and hope and change but end up doing plenty of damage during their terms of office too. The take away is that save for the rare few, we're just about all terribly gullible about one thing or another. The question is why people keep supporting a choice when it was obviously a mistake. Is that still being gullible or something much worse? 2020! - the election that just might change everything. We'll see.
