If this gets uploaded to the TREK conference prepare yourselves for a Pollard Manoeuver - Evil Variant (since I've continued writing replies and archiving them until such time I can upload them).

RVe> Well, do you have a better option? Yes, clearly the alien species in Star Trek do not represent different cultures but different aspects of humanity found in every culture. Now some of alien do draw from cultures here on Earth in an effort to flesh them out. Vulcans draw from Asian cultures, Romulans are based almost entirely on the ancient Romans, the Klingons originally were drawing from the Mongols and now are drawing from North American aboriginal cultures and the Kazon were based on United States inner city gangs. However many of the races are arch-types, Vulcans are logical, Klingons are violent, Romulans are sneaky, Ferengi are greedy, and Bajorans are pious. All are aspects of all of humanity. Besides I keep up with the news coming out of West Europe and to say that West Europeans are `logical' is laughable... Sincerely Yours David G. Riess EchoContinuityMonger ...

I'm still trying to wrack my fading memory were I heard Gene claim credit for the Klingon look. It may well have been A&E Biography or one of the Anniversary specials.
