The hope in humanity that Star Trek displayed was ahead of its time.
It showed "we don't have to live this way" to millions of people.
We don't have to accept corruption.
We don't have apathetically sit by & watch as the planet fries.
We don't have to tolerate dictatorship.
We don't have to live with an economy rigged against the very premise of "Live Long & Prosper" by selfish billionaires.
