It's just sad to think that another 100 years will go by and we humans will still be hung up on such vitally important points of conflict as differences in skin color. Why haven't we formed Starfleet yet, and a one-world government... and abolished such useless things as racism, poverty, and...*cough*..'weather'.

What the hell is taking so long?
Very much like a Dark Ages situation, but more accurately is that we have stagnated in our forward growth. I don't mean so far as technology goes, we have that out the yang, but if you look at a lot of it, its filler.

Much of it serves no purpose other than to use up (waste) free time. People talk about how it makes the more efficient, but 99% of the population is using it as a time killer. How many people do you know with a Blackberry/iPhone/smartphone who doesn't *really* use it for business?

Mention one world government and the tinfoil hat wearing people crawl out of the woodwork shouting about how bad it is.
