Sept. 6, 2004 I was sitting in the living room the other night when something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. There was a flash of light and sparkling effect and suddenly I was being greeted by a familiar Vulcan starship first officer. Pointed ears and all. Mr. S****, what are you doing here? Did you miss your shuttle? No, came the reply, I was curious about the Presidential election scheduled for this year. I'd like you to explain it to me. I told him to sit down, I would be happy to comply. He asked me why someone would believe another when the evidence spoke volumns otherwise. I asked what he meant and he pointedly asked my views of the candidates. I said I wished to support the current administration and he seemed intrigued asking why. Well, I explained I believe he was a man of his word. I believed he had integrity especially in comparison to the other gentleman. At this he raised a well known eyebrow. He seemed to think about this a moment and nodded. The swiftboat/Viet Nam question. This took me by surprise. Yes, that was part of the problem. There seemed to be an increase in evidence to show the fellow in question wasn't straight forward. He kept changing his story on things.People kept claiming something other than what he did.It didn't make sense. Liberals are illogical he stated. Wasn't humanity mostly illogical? Yes, but generally they were following a direction of some kind whereas liberals commonly had facts before them and often were overwhelmed by facts and still believed their candidate no matter what. They would defend an obvious untruth with various amounts of irrational behavior often foaming at the mouth and attacking their adversaries. I told him I'd often noticed this. I couldn't explain it and asked him if he could. Again the raised eyebrow. He pointed out he had already supplied that answer. Liberals are illogical. They "think" with their emotions. Actually, in consideration they were the opposite of Vulcans and I had to agree.Then he announced he had to go. The ship was due to be someplace and before I could find out from him how the election turns out he was gone. I awoke sometime later just as an old Star Trek episode was going off the air. Had it been just a dream? Then I found the thank you note from my stellar guest on the seat he'd been in.
