Though Kirk is fictional, Roddenberry did try very hard to make him the perfect general. Deeply saddened by the loss of any sentient life but realizing that natural laws hold more sway than any lofty ideals.

No Dennis ..... I didn't miss your point at all - I just simply choose not to comment on your "point" as you call it (I just figured that it really wasn't worth much of a response), instead choosing to comment on your point of view.

Now you are completely missing mine ......

Exactly what responsibility is it that you think I'm talking about ?

Let's hope and pray that the "in the blood" thing is a fallacy and that for his sake that the acorn falls far from the tree ......

Really ?

You know and are familiar with each of my teachers curriculum vitae ? And their schooling ..... as well as mine ?

My, you are quite a knowledgeable fellow ......

Are you an alumni ? Familiar with the institution ? (..... well, of course not ......)

BTW, I also attended here:

Northwood University

..... at the Midland campus, back when it was known as Northwood Institute (but not for the criminally insane

)

And just in case you are still missing it, they are both private institutions .....

I'm quite well aware of what the world's educational elites have evolved into ..... and not only that, but I'm entirely familiar with how it occurred, and why ...... which many (perhaps even yourself) are not.

You are the one that raised the issue of my "public education" - based entirely upon an assumption that was I educated in the public schools - a view which we now all see was not necessarily entirely correct .....

Further, you assume (and we all know what that does) that my views are a result of whatever schooling I have had (I can assure you - quite confidently - that by and large, they are not)

FWIW, I consider that what we really have here in the US (and unfortunately, now in many parts of the world) is a schooling system .....

The system's primary purpose is indoctrination, not education .... it is largely a propaganda, control, and brainwashing operation ..... designed to produce compliant citizens for the state ......

WOW!! If that is the primary reason for public education, and I kinda think it is, they sure must have failed big time where I am concerned!!!

Layout,

I am, at times, quite impressed with some of the stuff you write - you certainly are capable of profound thought - just like any of us are.

It's really just a matter of choice - and whether one decides to ..... or not ....

Count yourself lucky (.... very lucky indeed)

my responce as to my fulfillment of the responsibility , was to the responsibility to MY point, not your idea of the responsibilty....as for my son, nope he fell close loves doing what he was trained for......thats why he signed with a "Military Contractor"... the TOE are far less....a bit tighter since a few Blackwater" issues, but still less......

Oh and he also thinks along the same lines as i do about turning sands of the middle eastt to glass and letting allah sort them out.......

It is not luck. I did not go to public school starting in the 2nd grade until my second year of high school. My true "formative" years were in a private school. My 'freedom" skills were "honed" in my service to this Nation.
