GC: 043: The Prime Directive

"The Prime Directive is not just a set of rules; it is a philosophy… and a very correct one. History has proven again and again that whenever mankind interferes with a less developed civilization, no matter how well intentioned that interference may be, the results are invariably disastrous."
– Jean-Luc Picard, 2364 ("Symbiosis")
But is it really? Amy and Ria discuss the pros and cons of the Prime Directive as it was applied in TNG. What say ye, listeners?
