SF helps save the world, one person at a time

From Jim Gunn:

Ronald Moore, contributor to STAR TREK and writer of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, explains how STAR TREK (and SF, presumably) helped create his values in this article.

Best,
Chris

Your entry dun gone all wonky.

That's kinda cool - you mean in this view, not the friends view, right? The bars go over Kirk's face because I did a right-align of the image.

I stumbled across that one yesterday and enjoyed every word of it. I posted a link for the KDL crowd, but no one has commented on it yet. I was exposed to Star Trek at the tender age of 3, and it had a profound influence on the shaping of my worldview. Although I've seen most of the episodes of Classic Trek dozens of times as a teenager, I rewatched them again recently with my jaded adult eyes. Roddenberry truly pulled off a coup for his time -- political and social commentary disguised as sci-fi adventure which has endured and influenced legions.

This:

"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."

Is a fantastic quote! thanks!

Yes, that stuck with me, too!
