This was the premier Star Trek cast. the only other Star Trek shows we ever watch in the office is Star Trek: Enterprise with Scott Bakula as Jonathan Archer.
Middle Class Warrior, my boss, thought Gates McFadden was one of the most beautiful women on television in her time. She hid an excellent figure under her Star Trek tunic.
However, Marina Sirtis had put on some weight and she looked amazing in the movie, too.
The plot on Star Trek Nemesis centers around Shinzon who has been cloned from Jon Luc Picard, the captain of the enterprise. The dialogue between Shinzon and Picard explains the difference between conservatives and progressives.
Shinzon: Surrender, Captain.
Picard: Give up your anger, Shinzon. Think of what a better person you could become -- a great and noble and respected man, just like me.
Shinzon was raised on the slave planet, Remus, and was created for a single in-the-box purpose, to destroy the Earth. That was all he cared about.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard uses a progressive argument. Get out of your box.You can more than the destroyer of the earth. You can be a better person.
His comments are alien to Shinzon as are progressive ideas to conservatives.
Conservatives like the status quo. They like the box because the box is safer than the threatening world outside of the box.
Progressives are out of the box types. they want to experience new things .
This is clear in the opening title sequence of most episodes of Star Trek:
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Latin: to boldly go where no man has gone before.
There are explorer genes in humans. In 1999 scientists observed that populations who migrated farther in the past 30,000 to 1,000 years ago had a higher frequency of 7R/long alleles.
They also showed that nomadic populations had higher frequencies of 7R alleles than sedentary ones. More recently it was observed that the health status of nomadic Ariaal men from Northern Kenya was higher if they had 7R alleles.
A meta-analysis of 11 studies also find that another polymorphism in another gene, the -521C/T. It showed an association with novelty seeking.
It's the progressives that move society forward and have given women, minorities and gays civil rights. it's progressives that understand that the US can be a greater country than it is.
Conservatives live in the past and try to convince Americans that we are already the greatest country in the world.
With the conservative mindset, there is really nothing left to improve, is there?
Conservatives think the Founders had already figured everything out more than 200 years ago.
