It was a WONDERFUL series and I've been a Trekkie from the late '60's but it WAS a fantasy. I knew that then too.
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.
OK, it's a Vulcan concept --like the IDIC-- but how would you define "prosper" in the Trekian utopia... Lots of recognized research? The proper number of 'productive' progeny ??
Under Obama's sociofascism, the adage would be more like- "Live Not-so-long & P**s-poor."
