Does anyone in this discussion remember a Star Trek episode with Frank Gorshin and I-can't-remember-the-other-guy's-name? Gorshin and The Other Guy played look-alike (mirror-image twins) denizens of some other world, that couldn't stop bickering/fighting/playing serious nasty tricks on each other. Kirk and Spock and everyone else kept trying to encourage peace and tolerance and productive negotiations, but to no avail. The question was asked WHY??? Each answer was because the other one's (tribe? race? culture?) was so hateful, substandard, ugly, etc. But, said Kirk, You both look alike to us. (Half of each face was black, half white.) Heaven forbid...the right side of his face is black, the left side white. The good and perfect and superior race is white on the right side and black on the left.

While I'm thinking back, maybe if we started handing out tribbles..... or are they an endangered species?   Tw
