  • Wesley Clark panders to Star Trek fans

    On the campaign trail, Clark announced that he believes in FTL travel:

    "I still believe in e=mc², but I can't believe that in all of human history, we'll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go," said Clark. "I happen to believe that mankind can do it.

    "I've argued with physicists about it, I've argued with best friends about it. I just have to believe it. It's my only faith-based initiative."

    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
    G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

          Wow! Star Fleet as a faith-based initiative. I'll bet that Jean-Luc Picard is turning over in his future grave.

            Wesley: "Whine whine whiney, whine whiney."
            Picard: "Shut up, Wesley."
            Bev: "Shut up, Wesley?"
            Wesley: "WHINE whiney whine!"
            Picard and Bev: "Shut up, Wesley!"

              I hope Clark doesn't turn out to be some crazy nut case who ends up pumping billions of dollars into NASA to research FTL, replicadors, and those nifty tricorder thingymabobs... We don't need another one

              Uh, Shut up Wesley!

                Replicadors? Some kind of futuristic bullfighter?

                I hate faith in things. Perhaps there is a way of 'circumventing' this niggling problem of the ceiling of c...
