But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers...but we're not going to kill.....today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill.....today!" -- Kirk, A Taste Of Armageddon</blockquote> There was one Shatner quote that always struck me as both insane and valid:

It's not difficult to start a party or run as head of an old one. People here are fed up with the two main parties. And yeah, he's totally joking. This is standard fare for him.
