Reply #24: Watched the first Star Trek in college dorm 1966

(gives you an idea how old I am). I've been a fan ever since but am not a 'trekie'. Next Generation was great. Also loved Voyager. However, since 2000 I have stopped watching TV--100% except for vid art by others and myself.

Can catastrophe be avoided? I once held hope. Now I'm convinced that what it will take is something beyond mere 'human' effort--certainly something far beyond anything we'd recognize as 'politics.'

I am relieved to know there are higher dimensions than the one we habitually occupy. Our biggest mistake is the obvious assumption that 'this' is IT.

The monicker is also a nod to Congressman Traficant.

EDIT PS: The last time I voyaged into the hyper dimension I made it a point to ask the Tykes if they knew what was going on on this small, seemingly forsaken planet. Their reply, very nonchalantly was, "yeah, we know." IOW, it may be a big deal to US, from the point of view of the cosmic community it is worthy of attention but not alarm.

You may make of that whatever you will.
