Man of the People

"You cannot explain away a wantonly immoral act because you think that it is connected to some higher purpose" - Jean Luc

Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one? This is the quintessential question that Star Trek has grappled with for the past 50 years. This episode from season six of The Next Generation tackles this question head on. MAN OF THE PEOPLE is one of Star Trek's most important episodes for this very reason. And I'll tell you this - those who exploit the innocent for their own ends will regret it for the rest of their lives....and beyond.
