Doing nothing is not an option, it's a crime
(In this post I make the statement that both Divine Intervention and
Escape by Spaceship are dangerous believes when it leads us to do nothing) Originally Posted by remsav "Of all the things to complain about you pick NASA.

Well, it happens that I was addressing someone who thinks we can escape this planet to avoid an ecological catastrophe. And that, along with the belief that Jesus will come at the last minute to save them, is not only a form of mental masturbation, but a recipe for disaster. Doing nothing is not an option, it's a crime. Regrettably, this Administration has funded both religion and NASA liberally while the people, without bikes and other essentials of life, get poorer everyday. Of course, it has wasted a greater fortune in the war and other extravagant projects, but we are all aware of those. Typical lion behavior... HOW THE LION BENEFITS FROM THE LITTLE ANIMALS' POVERTY One day all the little animals went up to the King of the Jungle and complained about their poverty, and in particular about the fact that every time, during the dry season, they had to travel long distances to drink the precious fluid, and demanded a WATER WELL be built for them... They cited how the resources that they contributed to the kingdom were wasted in WARS and EXTRAVAGANT PROJECTS to the tastes of the King... He, however, replied with all kinds of excuses: the lack of resources, that it wasn't a matter of him not wanting it, but that it was a matter of "priorities" --which was one of his favorite words... Meanwhile, an Owl --who had very good eyes-- had been observing life in the jungle, and thought this way: "Every time there's a dry season the little animals must come to the little dirty waterhole where the Lion waits for them... Had they been well fed and strong, he would have had to run after them and even risk resistance. And, more importantly, the little animals are forced to fight the Lion's wars as the quick way out of poverty..." And that's how the Owl landed an important --and well paid-- post in the brand new Astronomy Department created by the King of the Jungle -- to the effect of exploring life in other planets... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The revolution starts when you ride a bike. You think of it as a kinder, gentler vehicle that will help keep Peace as well as save the Environment, and make you Sexy." http://webspawner.com/users/bananarevolution |
