#1 Star Trek. Just watch out for the Borg.

Except for Seven of Nine, she can assimilate me repeatedly anytime.

Traditional Tribal prefrerence for Males = unabated abortions, selling or killings of Female Fetuses-Babies = Siblings whom are simul also Extended Relations [Nephews andor Nieces to same], thanks to [forced = violent]intra-Clan/Village Bride Sharing.

#3 South Park goofed these guys years ago. "If only there were, like, people who made food for everybody." Yeah, they are bakers. It is obvious they made more effort to learn Basquiet than Richard Scarry.

I like to argue that the Star Trek universe is a promoter of the strong American values and conversative ideas, not the liberal utopian leftest ideal. In this universe there is war (constant), intrigue (Undiscovered Country), money and trade (Deep Space Nine), Laws, Death, unknown unknowns dealt with by a crew of rugged individuals rather than just sitting back waiting for the captain to make decisions. There is constant adversity, the Q trials, could go on. And the fact is, the ideals of the Federation are constanty tried by its enemies, "Human Rights, why the very term is racist!" The fact is the Borg are collectivists just as the communist/leftists. If I had a list of excellent anti-collectivist flicks I would include the episodes where the Hue offshoots break from the collective and then struggle with Lore's leadership, excellent piece
