Come on, folks. Spock said it: "The needs of the many must outweigh the needs of the few."
Before we get on about minority rights here, let me just point out that Spock was 1) a Vulcan, not given to bad choices of words, possibly incapable of not saying what he meant to, and 2) needs are not wants - specifically convenience is most definitely a want.
Spock's a childhood hero of mine, and it hits me hard that some of his best lines were spoken while I was in high school and college. That's one of them.
