    It would behoove them to grow/make and export something that isn't ubiquitous and nonseasonal.

    Genetically modified chickens? Seriously? Speaking of ignorant.

    Then you of course, may sign the waiver. My doctor keeps paper records. That's a level of privacy digital information does not possess.

    Not at all what happens in states with right to carry. Gun violence is *down* from other states. But, spout some more prop.

    Your snark misses a rather huge point - these were not hostages, they were targets.

    Have to agree with him to a degree. *Every* fucking article doesn't have to be linked into the current election. You could have kept it in the abstract.

    Indeed. The comment I remember (and shared view with) when TNG came out was from TV Guide. The critic made a number of observations but was struck by the way The Federation dealt with people who didn't share it's views by "wanting to fix them". They had no problem whatsoever with having a mind reader (empath really) on board to invade your private thoughts and if you weren't available for their use, they would simply create a holodeck simulacrum of you and exploit you without your knowledge.

    TNG always had that creepy feel to me.

    A reference of some nature to your unique input into society much like your bank account does today - you do something worthwhile for someone and they credit you for it. Many scifi stories use "credits" in the abstract this way.

    News - what's happening.
