Default Re: What polarity can we reverse today?

I agree that Khan was my favorite villian, (thank god I saw the Wrath of Khan episode before Fantasy Island came out), but I must heartily disagree with that "lust for power and revenge" part.

At least in the first episode, Khan and his people were the Last remnants of a race, fleeing a genocidal war of extermination. What were they supposed to do, lay down and die? Even the lowest of creatures has a right to self-defense.

Hmm, as I remember that episode, Khan was the leader of the faction that triggered the genocidal war, and was fleeing to avoid prosecution as a war criminal.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft
