Worf: "Nice planet." :-)
Interesting society: no one does anything uncomfortable to them, all life is about pleasure,
physical fitness, music, nature, no machines - except: no crime, because the punishment
for even the smallest crime is death, swift, painless. Is that okay? (No.) And if not:
does that invalidate the possibility of the rest of this Eden?
