I'll try to find it, but in the meantime +1 to the answer. It is to the point, but I would phrase it differently. And as for insane beliefs - my opinion is that "The New Klingons" represent the part of American society the leftist producers (no point watering down terms after their first punch) simply do not understand. I for certain, being a foreigner from East Europe, identify with those insane beliefs over a whole swath of others. | |

Unless the after show specifically explains the claim then all we have are speculations and I don't see how this one is any less valid than whatever other traits others will identify. My opinion was that Americans have insane beliefs, just like these radical klingons, they have some kind of self defined sense of honor that doesn't appear to be honorable to anyone else, they will kill themselves in many ways just to prove a point or gain an advantage, etc. the list could go on. To be fair, I could draw similar parallels to just about any country | |
