We vastly underestimated the dogged determination of those who love evil, hatred, violence on this planet.

Charlie Kirk is probably more popular now than ever.

Wonder how long it will be until we start hearing rumors that Kirk is still alive living in South Africa or somewhere?

I learned so much from Star Trek, The Twilight Zone and My Favorite Martian.
Yes, Uncle Martin! It's amazing how many scientific facts they crammed into those shows!
Remember Cliff Robertson walking over the ridge into the future?
Star Trek taught everyone about leadership, morals and values, remember
how they would never leave a crew member behind?
I just couldn't understand coworkers who had never seen a single episode,
or cringed when mentioning the name Gene Roddenberry or Star Trek!
