Star Trek was more accurate than we thought.

The only problem is, we aren’t in The Federation. We are living in The Dominion. I am a big fan of Star Trek, having watched all the broadcast TV shows. The popular viewpoint is that Gene Rodenberry’s vision of the future was positive, with humanity finally outgrowing its destructive tendencies
