Expectations for personal comfort with minimal exertion and commitment is
what I meant. :-) It's the exact opposite of the "boldly go..." statement.
Why boldly go when you can vicariously do it via TV and the fantastic
special effects? Sheesh, in the Roman days, they had to watch people get
slaughtered in the Circus. Today, they do it via Arnold and Rambo...
(and deride those "greedy" capitalists who actually want them to _pay_ for
services.) Sheesh.
