205 - Rotten at the Warp Core

This conversation between John Pinna (Muslim) and Elliot Toman (Christian), revolves around the outcomes when power dynamics are at odds with a society's stated ideals. Using the various governments depicted in Star Trek as a simplified metaphor, John and Elliot discuss the danger of becoming a society that is not what it appears to be; one that holds up its aspirations as a facade rather than holding to them as a dynamic core.
