I'm a lifelong "Star Trek" fan. Well, since the original series came on in 1966, anyway. I was almost 14, and I was captivated. In the series' second incarnation, "Star Trek: The Next Generation," a race called the Ferengi was introduced. They're money-grubbing, power-hungry beings, guided by the "Rules of Acquisition," which glorify greed and cheating. Rule of Acquisition 1: "Once you have their money, never give it back."
