Gene Roddenberry continually reminded us that the Star Trek Enterprise was a metaphor for starship Earth.

The central pillar of our justice system is due process. You have got to be charged with a crime. Then you can challenge those charges in a court of law with a trial. George Takei Read Quote
Social media affords me an opportunity to interact with fans on a daily basis, not just for a few seconds apiece at a science-fiction convention. George Takei Read Quote
