Star Trek has always been political. I've heard lots of people that whine and complain when Star Trek "gets political" and has a message, saying the federation is "too self righteous". They tend to be bigoted regressives that somehow managed to become Star trek fans. I don't know how that happened.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
