I came upon an insightful video regarding the nation's 250th anniversary, as tied to the Star Trek episode, "The Omega Glory," written by Gene Roddenberry.
I realize that some dismiss "The Omega Glory" as overwrought, "Yankee Doodle" propaganda, but it never struck me that way. In fact, I don't believe that Captain James T. Kirk broke the Prime Directive. The Yangs weren't progressing because they had no viable society to derail. Kirk's push was justified and, in fact, humanitarian.
This video, presented by Meta Trek, does a fine job acknowledging the episode's pertinence. No matter which side of the political coin one may be on, there's much to consider in this episode, in particular Kirk's impassioned speech.
