[color=#000000ost_uid0]BTW, great list, Scooter... I especially liked, um, this half:

[quoteost_uid0]10. As the first U.S. TV show to feature an interracial kiss, TOS was in the forefront of establishing the preeminence of sex in American society, to the exclusion of all other concerns

8. TOS’s heterogeneous, multi-ethnic crew proved once and for all that it is possible for people of different kinds to get along and work together for the common good, as long as it’s in a completely artificial, pie-in-the-sky sci-fi fantasy future where everybody gets along and works together

3. Both government and corporate executives have long known the value of having two subordinates express diametrically opposed viewpoints, then ignoring them both completely

2. I think it goes without saying that if we were transported back to Tombstone, Arizona and forced to participate in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, each of us would behave exactly as the officers of the Enterprise did
