When the good Treks were created, there was still a broader sense of community in the world, at least some kind of vague hope for the future.

Now, people are so fucking stupid, so imbecilic, so irresponsible that I feel obligated to protect myself from my fellow man instead of enjoying his fellowship. I mean hell, we've got a schizo in here who actually likes Nu-Trek. Just incomprehensible 25 years ago but here we are.
