If it breaks out, we are going to target the liars in the media, their families, and their buildings.

Quote from pspr:

As James T. Kirk once said, "“We’re human beings, with the blood of a million savage years on our hands. But we can stop it. We can admit that we’re killers, but we won’t kill today.”

As Mr. Spock once said, "the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few, or the one".

And when Spock needed help Kirk told him, "the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many", as in we are individuals and often we must realized that needs start with the individual.

Kirk had an emotional bias. It was not logical, and Spock told him so.

Yet, he did it anyway. And the viewer world looked upon it and said it was good.

And herein lies today's political argument, as laid out by a couple of trekkers

Logical: Cut spending, the country cannot go on this way.

Emotional: but what about the underprivileged?

Logical: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, the country must survive.

Emotional: We will not allow any children to be left behind!

I don't really think that most Dems care about the underprivileged - they just throw a bone once in a while at their captive poor minority groups and make a lot of noise about it, in an effort (successful so far) to secure their votes, hold on to power and enrich themselves, that's all.

Like I've said before, if you don't like that dynamic then don't have so many poor.
