[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] "Risk is our business. That's what this starship is about. That's why we're aboard her." -- Captain James T. Kirk (1968) Why? Because risk [i]is[/i] our buisiness. Not everyone's perhaps but the urge to take risks in order to "better ourselves and the rest of humanity" is there. Relatively speaking the journey's of exploration accross the Atlantic in the 1400s right up to the first half of the 19th century were just as damgerous. Should we stop doing something just because it is hard? Have we, in this age of instant gratification and modern comfort, forgotten what it took to achieve this standard of living? The "me first" mindset that seems to infest so many of those with power in this world must end. I know it's probably just youthful idealism on my part but how hard would it really be for those in power to be selfless from time to time and try and get something great done, rather than just advancing their own agenda?
