     Am I wrong, or is one of the central themes of STIII yet the "value"
  of military victory (i.e., where Kirk kicks the Klingon into the lava pit).
  ( the Klingons being, unmistakably, our alter-egos...)......

    The Star Trek series always appealed to me because it seemed to emphasize
  reason, compassion, and sensibility over violence and brutality. Perhaps 
  I'm getting overly sensitive in my old age, but this last flick left a
  bad taste in my mouth.
