I want the next President to be a Trekkie

I was reading an article about Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry (**NERD ALERT**) that made me think about our current Administrations world view. The article mentioned key ethics written into the original show and the theory of "cultural relativism" which makes six basic claims:

1. Different societies have different moral codes.

2. There is no objective standard that can be used to judge one societal code better than another.

3. The moral code of our own society has no special status; it is merely one among many.

4. There is no "universal truth" in ethics - that is, there are no moral truths that hold for all people at all times.

5. The moral code of a society determines what is right within that society; that is, if the moral code of a society says that a certain action is right, then that action is right, at least within that society.

6. It is mere arrogance for us to try to judge the conduct of other peoples. We should adopt an attitude of tolerance toward the practices of other cultures.

While I don't really think these lines of reasoning would work so well in the real world, it called-out certain qualities that I very much would like to see more of.
