Most Certainly....we've done 'fucked up' more times than anyone could count throughout history, and we have always managed to come out of it stronger, wiser, and better off than before. We'll do it again this time too. You can count on that.

I was thinking just the other day of why Star Trek is such a social phenomenon. I believe it's because (as hokey as it is), it's an optimistic view of the future. Our culture is ass deep in prophets and doomsayers cursing humanity and its future. They've grown so boring and tiresome that a little optimism is a desparately needed breath of fresh air.
