Well, so far the SS seems about our closest to the Borg, and I wouldn't 
care to see
that experiment re-run.  The Jesuits are sort of Vulcan.  What I'd 
_like_ to see, a
bit ahead of time, is late-21st-century Earth, if we could just dispose 
of war, hate,
hunger and so on without the bother of WWIII.

Make it so!

With unlimited funds, I'd like to found a Star Fleet Institute, with 
that over the door,
and combine a kind of clubhouse with an environment fostering a combined fan
effort to realize Star Trek ideals in the present world.
