Who Will Be The Star Trek Generation?

As I listened to Billy Joel’s “Summer, Highland Falls” last night I couldn’t help but compare it to the political climate of today. We live in a world without compromise. Neither side wants to give, they only want to get. When Billy Joel sings this song in concert he usually dedicates it to “All the Manic Depressives in the audience.” Is that what our society has become?


Our leaders can’t seem to look past today. They have become obsessed with today while sacrificing tomorrow. It is not a sustainable political or social environment. Everyday we are confronted with our own inhumanity, the rising poverty rate and the decline of the middle class, the spread of disease and infection, and the differences in each others religious beliefs. Our leaders seem to choose their own madness over the reality of the situation. They needlessly dissipate their energies promoting their own selfish agendas while distracting others from the respective similarities of the issues.


They have been arguing and so called compromising on the same issues for over 6 decades but it seems that nothing has changed. They are still standing on the ledges of their own unwavering beliefs with an unwillingness to take a step back and see it from another perspective.

What generation is going to standup and sacrifice to become what I like to call, The Star Trek Generation? By that I mean, the generation that is going to put the future of our world ahead of their own agenda. If any of you are fans of Star Trek you know that in that world there is no more disease, social classes, or political unrest. Everything is done with the good of society as a whole in mind. Only then will we truly become a sustainable society.
