No episode name, and without looking through the rest of the thread, is it perhaps the episode where Kirk and the crew end up on a planet that is still fighting the cold war, but where the "americans" are depicted as barbarians and can barely pronounce the words in the US constitution (or is it the dec of ind?).
In the episode, the document is treated much like the bible, so much so that only a select few are allowed to "read" it. Kirk, violating the prime directive (or is that a TNG thing?) opens their eyes to the "truth".
abe: seems like I remember the episode somewhat incorrectly, but in my defense I only saw it once a few years back. In terms of quality, I remember dying in agony, but that's a daily occasion while watching the original star trek for me. So par for the course.
