How do you know they don’t? ST universe was always pretty sterile. It would be like trying to define broader human culture from looking at Sunday school- of course no one is talking about any of that…
i've been to sunday school and bible camp. first of all, weird. that was weird. that was less weird than Unitarian Universalist church camp. the sterility of Star Trek was refreshing
Actually, now that I think about it…. Didn’t Mudd get sent to prison for selling beauty pills?
