Up The Long Ladder

Surprised how many people get so easily offended by a piece of work that is inherently fictional and designed to get you to think. I've now read several reviews that are aghast over the idea of an "Irish-like" group being represented by a wonderfully strong woman and her equally wonderfully life-loving father. Take away the accent, and what's the issue?? Should white folk be appalled by the Clone-based society being an uptight group of DNA thieves?? How dare they represent White people that way.......

For goodness sake, just as with the first season episode Code of Honor, (which I personally didn't hate, it dealt with the inherent differences in others cultures, albeit with a heavy hand) this episode is an allegory for our very species, the psychotic hairless apes we call humans.
