Geordi LaForge becomes mayor of New York

[Guest STSF Lebowski]

Star Trek has always been a groundbreaking show, dealing with issues that had never before been dealt with on Television.

 

For instance, Lieutenant Uhura was the first black woman shown in a position of authority on TV in a decade when Martin Luther King, Jr. lead a march on Washington for equal treatment of African Americans.

 

Star Trek has continually shown the "disadvantaged" of our society achieving great things in a brighter future. Geordi LaForge, a black man, was the chief engineer of a starship. And despite being blind, he was one of the smartest and most accomplished people on the fleet's flagship.

 

All the time we are seeing more and more dreams of Star Trek becoming reality as society slowly catches up with Roddenberry's vision.

 

On March 17, David Patterson became the first African American governor of New York, and the first blind person to ever become Governor of any state.

 

Next we'll have an android appointed to the Cabinet :lol:

Need the Vulcan VP first, Lebo. Although, I'd nominate Larrell Sec'y of the Treasury :lol: . Can't do any worse than the current administration. ;)

I think Gore counts as an emotionless stiff as VP, even if he did go all space hippy in his older age. And Channey has enough spare parts would he atleast count as a cyborg?

Ron Paul looks like a ferenghi ANNND he hates the IRS...he probably is one.
