Because people have played mario cart, and I don't want to be hit by a red shell because I got to the charging mat first.

Why do you think all warp capable vessels in Star Fleet have deflector arrays? Gosh, kids today not paying attention in interstellar physics...

Grant them, yes, but not set terms to force someone to do what you describe.

And in what ragged and damaged interpretation of the Constitution would that be? Which power granted to the government does it fall under? You do realize the Constitution is a listing of the rights of the government and not the rights granted by it, don't you?

The pride and arrogance in this trend of "I am god" here is sickening. I was part of a 2 man crew on a company of 40 people and it sucked.
