More backpeddaling. You're absolutely right! He's a car. Let's treat him like the damn piece of equipment he is! Let's load him up with junk and make him carry us around town! Obviously he's not human. The only thing that matters is what he WAS not what he IS.
That's what you want, right? He's not human. Let's treat him like he's not human. In fact. Let's treat everything that's not human like they don't matter. Aliens, angels, everything that ain't from this planet doesn't matter. Who cares if they can feel? Who cares if they look like us? What do morals and decencey have to do with anything? If you ain't like me then you don't damn well matter, right?
It doesn't work. No matter how you try to swing it alien, angel, former car... they have rights and feelings. Hell, if I got turned into a lamp I doubt I'd remember the experience.
No. I matter because, as long as I'm here, I'm going to be the one standing in the way of people who think like you. I may not have the damn Federation to back me up but I can make one hell of a fuss when I need to. I don't want to know you. From what I've seen here: the backpeddaling, the refusal to admit that maybe you were wrong, and that cocky attitude of your's I wouldn't want to. I don't see how anybody could want to.
