Re: Well why not? - (...my "constitution")
1. Bill of Rights.
2. Amnesty International statement of human rights.
3. Get along or get along (re: if you can't be nice and play fair you'll be packed up and shipped back to Earth).
4. Mars: Don't bake it, drop it, or stomp on it.
5. Temple of William Shatner attendance voluntary.
6. Temple of Voltaire attendance voluntary.
7. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated (you expect it from others anyway, right?)
8. "Dark Shadows" (original series 1966 - 1971) airs promptly at 9:00 p.m. each night -- be sure to tune in!
Hmmmm...what have I left out? ???

#9 Free beer for anyone working more than 8 hours a day.

There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

*See what happens when in-laws are part of the discussion? I get so rattled that I skip 9. :laugh:
Actually, it's been a crazy day --
Anywho, thanks Graeme.
--Cindy
P.S.: To heck with beer -- I'll take a frozen Cosmopolitan with an extra dash of vodka. Thanks.

Re: Well why not? - (...my "constitution")
Cindy, I have a gut feeling that long after Shatner is dead, regardless of who builds an outpost on Mars, "Star Trek" will be represented by SOME kind of memorial on Mars. Seriously.
I love the idea of putting statues of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy in a public square, looking as if they just beamed down.
I'd bet good money that "Star Trek" reruns will be seen on Martian TV screens.

*Hi Aetius! Yes, I heartily agree. In a public square, as if they'd just beamed down.
And Spock's statue must include a tricorder.

What about the obligatory, obscure, unknown, and dispensable crew member ... with something lethal creeping up behind him?!!

*Considering the thread was created in jest (except the "treat others the way you wish to be treated" part), and as a response to lots of other people posting their ideas for a Marsian constitution: Yeah -- there's silliness involved (deliberate). And none of them are to be considered "laws."
We occasionally engage in humor here at New Mars.
