Default If that wasn't an elitist statement!

Unfortunately some of us do have too much time on our hands. Some of us may have advanced degrees in history, politics, or economics. It's not hard to see the communism versus the West ideology in TOS. As for that matter, distrust of the democratic government runs deep in the Adama character. If you see it this thread is worthwhile. If you don't than enjoy another. Most of the best SCIFI is really about ourselves. The classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is all about communism and America's fears at the time. Starship Troopers, the book is all about the ideal political system and the failures of the then current democracy as seen by the author. The overt Battlestar, the mini is a remake of "In Harms way". Beneath the surface it is about America (or if you like Western Civilization) versus Al-Queda. The original poster hit the nail on the head, Cut him some slack!
