Thou shall not murder… The Ten Commandments

Hundreds if not thousands of people have died due to gun violence. Many of them have been students in schools of all levels of learning. Guns and gun violence have been a systemic illness in this nation for years. I mourn for Charlie Kirk’s family, but I have a hard time mourning for him due to the fact his philosophy along with other conservatives have stopped any meaningful action on gun violence. I think of myself as an empathetic and sympathetic person, but today when there was another school shooting event in Colorado, Charlie Kirk’s death has consumed the attention of many who could do something about gun violence.

Charlie Kirk will rest in peace, his death is unfortunate, but there are many who still live with the pain of family and friends who have died due to guns.

Star Trek Day is about celebrating a visionary science fiction TV show on September 8, which had the broadcast premiere of the series on that day in 1966. The day is celebrated by fans across the world to acknowledge the cultural impact of the Star Trek franchise.

Since the original series there have been spinoff series such as The Next Generation, Discovery and Strange New Worlds that continue the story that creator Gene Roddenberry brought to life fifty-nine years ago.

As a fan of the series, I have been impacted by its morality, social justice, and dedication to inclusion. Without Star Trek, the world would be different. It’s ultimate statement of creating a world in which all can take part is the Vulcan concept of infinite diversity in infinite combinations. We need that now more than ever these days. Thank you, Star Trek, for showing us a better way forward. May we Boldly Go as we Live Long And Prosper as we head into Star Trek’s 60th anniversary in 2026.

Star Trek is the story of the future we must find our way towards. I think God would want that too.
