: OK, we know that it is a long-time Star Trek tradition
: to present modern issues in an allegorical futuristic
: setting. However, has this tradition been broken in
: recent years? Since Gene Roddenberry died, do the
: current creators of ST still explore modern issues
: the way the original series and the early episodes of
: TNG did?

I don't see how--I mean it doesn't seem that way to me.
when was the last time I encountered a shape shifter who took
the place of my mother....If the Dominion are suppose to represent
something in real life then I would like to know what...
but that is OK I don't watch ST strickly for the hidden meanings, I
enjoy the show therefore I take the good with the bad....after
all Roddenberry is dead...as sad it is I'm just pointing out the
obvious ST is no longer about one mans dream- its about money
and ratings. at least the way I see it.
