From Star Trek: The Original Series, Season Two Episode, The Omega Glory:

"This was not written for chiefs. Hear me! Hear this! Among my people, we carry many such words as this from many lands, many worlds. Many are equally good and are as well respected, but wherever we have gone, no words have said this thing of importance in quite this way. Look at these three words written larger than the rest, with a special pride never written before or since. Tall words proudly saying We the People. That which you call Ee'd Plebnista was not written for the chiefs or the kings or the warriors or the rich and powerful, but for all the people! Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, 'We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution.' These words and the words that follow were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well!"

...

"They must apply to everyone or they mean nothing! Do you understand?"


Captain James T. Kirk (played by William Shatner) addressing to Cloud William (played by Roy Jenson) and his fellow Yangs from the planet Omega IV about the importance and the universal application of what they call "the holy words", the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Have a happy Fourth of July to everyone of you!

I am always partial to the orginal series

One of the most beautiful expressions of the meaning of those words!

Except for the Cardies and Romulans.

And the Borg won't listen.

Too bad it was an abysmal failure.
