Gee what a wonderful idea to carry into the future.How many times have we seen the stupid directive broken? Just about any time anyone has felt like it.YET!The one time the Federation refused to break it was during the Klingon Civil War in STNG. This one time they refused and it was only through 10 seconds of clever Data action that kept the Klingon Empire being won by the side that would have immedialty sided with the Romulans in a war against the Federation.The fictional Prime Directive is as dumb as the Neutrality Acts that they so closely resemble.</blockquote>
