After all, in one of his more lucid non-Geneva-convention-violating moments, Sisko did note...<br /><br /><i> Do you know what the trouble is? The trouble is Earth-on Earth there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. It's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the demilitarized zone all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints, just people-angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not. </i><br /><br />If you want to defend the principles of the Federation and prove Gene Roddenberry right, you're going to have to do it when it's hard. Prove yourself worthy of the uniform and you'll feel much better wearing it.<br /><br />Anyway, think about how many horrible things they did to O'Brien in DS9 and he still managed to be the comedy relief sometimes. :-DGeorge Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706465827178319046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782642015911121830.post-89056339130429486842016-03-01T13:11:20.938+00:002016-03-01T13:11:20.938+00:00You know, reading this post has made me depressed ...You know, reading this post has made me depressed about this season all over again now...<br /><br />Oh well, Arvind is going to try to keep out of the politics, happy with his technical manuals and dilithium crystals and will continue to make oblivious remarks and hopefully provide the comic relief that sounds like it'll be so desperately needed (especially now that K'Ratak has left) :).<br /><br />PS: Bro'ch'n/K'Ratak slash? Ew! The internet is a filthy, filthy place, sometimes.Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09917207771615890302noreply@blogger.com
