We Need Star Trek!

Star Trek Needed for 21st Century

I've always loved the original Star Trek Series because the characters were so well defined and acted out.  I am just sorry that I cannot remember the exact show which gives us some wisdom for our day.
In that show, I will never forget how Kirk, Spock and McCoy are fighting it out on a planet with some aliens.  Finally, representatives from an advanced civilization arrive and tell them to stop their violent ways.  But the fighting goes on. They are caught in the back and forth of getting the last hit.  That's when the weapons just stop working!  The voice from the advanced civilization speaks and says something like this:  "It will do you no good to fire.  We have immobilized all your weapons.  Now please get out of our sight--for you are just too primitive and painful a people to be in our presence." 

Imagine all of the fighting around the world coming to standstill because all weapons are immobilized!  Then it occurred to me.  As horrible a thought as this is--Do you suppose we would find another way to kill each other off?

 There is another story that portrays the human race as more proactive to establish peace. (Again, my apologies for not being able to cite the exact show--but I am not going to hunt through 180+ Amazon screens!) Kirk and crew arrive on a planet which has been in an endless war with another civilization on another planet.  When alarms go off, the great computer calculates the number of casualties.  That number of people must go to the disintegration chambers OR the treaty will be broken and real war with vast devastation will break out.  War has become that sterile and commonplace.  What do Kirk and crew do?  They intervene to bring peace by destroying the death chambers.....so the casualties cannot be recorded. War is imminent....unless the ambassadors can work it out.  The point?" War should never be so sterilized that it becomes a way of life. 

He shall judge between the nations,
   and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
   and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
   neither shall they learn war any more. 
Isaiah 2: 4
