I have to wonder if you meant No, that's entirely true. Decades of inequality leading to apathy. After all, why hope for anything more when there is nothing better you can remember. It always exists to one degree or another. Even in the Federation. But something like what we saw could not have happened overnight. It was a slow descent. That much suffering...it takes time. Suffice to say, we're certainly in a different timeline.
I only hope that the incidents remain harmless. Given our experience, it's hard to trust in that. As to the Constable, he does seem to have a fondness for irritants. Take Quark for instance. Or don't. Goodness knows, that might make him show up and I couldn't handle it.
Earth literature is hardly limited to William Shakespeare. There are countless authors with their own distinct styles. Unlike Cardassia where everything seems to fall into three categories with little in the way of variation. But hold on a moment. I never suggested Romeo and Juliet to you. Tell me, Garak. When did you make time to read more Shakespeare on your own?
