If I was as strange as some think, I would start building a space
ship and selected 2 of every kind of animal, 2 of every kind of plant
and two breeding females (human of course) and learning how to
seperate my fingers in a vulcan symbol and saying to New
Jerseans; "Live long and prosper..." then I would "push the button"
and off into space we would go... of course i would leave my collar
on the steps of the State House as a sign of my repulse!
