So I'm not the best trekkie, so sue me.  I don't go around wearing a communicator pin, and have
not done so since Florida(and shortly after)  as to the fact that you can't relate everything to
Star Trek, that is true, but I think my example of Star Trek being the personification of human
hopes and dreams is right on the money.  You also don't seem to realize that Star Trek is not
just a TV series some movies, and a couple of books.  Star Trek is an ongoing phenomenon that
lives in the hearts of not just Americans, but the entire world.  Gene Roddenberry was a true
visionary, and I for one think that he deserves every bit of homage I pay to him in the form of
references, and discussions about warp theory, and whatever else I decide to mention about Star
Trek.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Fear and Loathing showed a very dramatic side to drug culture, and acid users are not known for
giddiness based on the fact that acid makes you lose quite a few seconds at a time leading to
visual skipping around like a CD with scratches skips around in a song or so I am told by former
users who decided to not become repeat users and have warned me against ever using, and Hunter
S. Thompson has probably made quite enough money without having to rely on that great great film
we have all come to know and love as Fear and Loathing, and on the subject of Aristotle et al we
would not have had a different albeit wrong view point of the universe so in a way he pushed us
as humans to not rely on just one model but instead to thrive for more models which were more
correct, and Spock is in books, movies, and old reruns because he is a fictional character and
not everything can be related to Star Trek, it was a television show and a few movies and some
books, woohoo let it freakin go, any self respecting person still wearing a communicator pin
deserves to get hassled about it, I like H.P. Lovecraft but you don't see me gluing tentacles to
myself and calling myself a subterranean horror beyond explanation, the only person I know who
pulls off the whole Treekie thing and still manages to look cool is Mr. Black, now I have
completed my mini-rant and you all now have three choices, you can agree, disagree, or throw
money at me--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
                    Replying to Original Article:John, In reference to a post you wrote earlier,
which I don't care to bother finding again, when do you find time to go to classes, unless you
meant that you sleep immediately after class until midnight, and then are awake until after
classes the next day. oh, I guess I answered my own question.  Don't you just hate it when that
happens? You get all set to tear someone's statement to pieces, and then you have to go and see
their side of things.  I guess that's why I'd make a crappy lawyer.  I need a new swivel chair,
one like Kenny's.  Mine tore up because it was a cheap piece of crap that handle my leaning back
in it. I know that's a non-sequitur, and I just used a nifty word, and you know what, aside from
having a bit of a girl problem, I couldn't be happier at all.  What a dramatic change from my
post just two days ago.  That's the nice thing about life I suppose.  One day you feel totally
shitty, and think the whole world is gonna collapse on you and the next, you are giddy as a
druggie on his first acid trip, and feel like you are on top of the world.  Ok, so a druggie on
an acid trip probably feels more like .....hmmmm.... what does a druggie on an acid trip feel
like, I suppose if the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is any indication, it is something I
never want to experience, I suppose it might be pleasurable, but that movie was just too
disturbing to make me ever allow myself to experiment with any form of drugs.  I don't know,
maybe that was the whole point of that movie.  To scare people out of trying drugs.  I don't
think that was what the writers were intending, I think that they just needed some money, or
maybe they were on an acid trip themselves. I just realized that I've said the word Maybe about
a dozen times, so I think I'll just stop talking now, and leave you with this thought.  Where
would we be without Aristotle?  Well, for one thing, we probably would be quite more advanced in
the field of astronomy.  It was Aristotle's Ideas th!
at prompted most European universities and religions that People like Copernicus and Gallileo
were wrong.  Yes I realize that Aristotle was in an entirely different time period than
Copernicus and Gallileo, but it was the stubborn follower of Aristotle that believed that the
Earth was the center of the universe.  If no Aristotle, we might have made the discoveries of
this century hundreds of years ago.  So I say, If we didn't have the great thinkers of the
world, Then we wouldn't be much worse off than we are now.  this thought disturbs me, so someone
please point out the flaws in my logic.  Where is Spock when you need him?
