These guys are idiots

These guys are idiots. Hey China! The space race ended more than thirty years ago! And what's more space programs in general are a meaningless distraction from real problems. I swear it's like the carrot and stick approach to 1984. The endless war (or in our case endless fear of terrorism- BE AFRAID! VERY AFRAID! SO AFRAID THAT YOU VOTE FOR A MORON) is the stick as Orwell wrote about in his classic novel. The carrot is the space race. Hey! We're going to the moon! Look over there! Disregard the starvation behind the curtain! And for the US it's the Mars mission. Let's go to Mars! The rich aren't getting richer while the poor get poorer, we're going to Mars! Yay!!! I have an idea, let's forget about Mars and focus all that attention on oh, say NOT BEING DEPENDENT ON OIL ANYMORE. The consequences of being dependent on foreing oil should be obvious at this point. But even if we had scads of oil in Texas it's still destroying the environment!

Oh, and you should all read Al Franken's new book, The Truth (with jokes) because not only is it funny it also brings up a lot of good points. Including how Bush won the 2004 election. I think it was mainly due to 1984-style drumming up of fear about constant war or in our case threat of terrorism. So everybody go home tonight and have nightmares and vote Republican! VOTE YOUR FEARS!!!!

be afraid.

be very afraid.
