I think it's great they're contemplating establishing a manned base station on the moon in the near future.

I think that's where all the funding should go----to a project that has a potential for actually accomplishing something useful and constructive.

They shouldn't spend one more penny on wasted efforts at social or economic reform.  Societies are total losers.  Nothing but aggregates of "abusive parents" and "abused rivaling siblings".

The average U.S. citizen is like "the child who can't decide whether to believe his parents or his teachers".

(Fixing the infrastructure is about the only terrestrial issue I can think of that's worth investing in)
