I like Star Trek. Maybe you don't. Maybe you can also go to hell.

OH, HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN! I HAVE BEEN SHAMED! I AM UNWORTHY!

And I let that pass unremarked upon.

But that wasn't my only sin. Hit the jump for further evidence of my failure.

How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?
