The Klingons have an interesting culture!? Rich in
tradition!? yI-Hagh-taH. Yeah, their traditions date
clear back to the 60's, when all a boy needed to be a
Klingon was a sweater-vest and a jar of greasepaint.
Let's wake up and smell the coffee. Klingon "culture" has
been hobbled together from B movie cliches of Apaches,
Vikings, and the Japanese, to name a few. It's of no
value in itself unless it points you toward an appreciation
of real cultures and traditions. As for honor, there are
better places to look for it than in the pathological
histrionics perpetrated by the Klingons. Feh!
Kloko-vo'.
