Increasingly, our government reminds me of a certain old Star Trek episode. It was titled "I, Mudd," and in it the Enterprise explorers found themselves in the grip of seemingly perfect androids determined to serve man. The automatons informed the crew that humans were "self-destructive," needed their "help" and couldn't be trusted with freedom. One of the mechanical masters concluded by telling Captain Kirk, "we shall serve them [humans] and you will be happy...and controlled."
