In no way am I anti-Nasa but I just don't see settling upon Mars as practical at all. Hell, is it even solving anything? Will it eliminate our biggest problem, our irresponsibility to one another and our planet, or simply let us hang on a little while longer until we **** up that planet too?
Our biggest issue is overpopulation. Period. The only way to control that is to lay down some Big Brother ****. It sucks. I'm sure babe will come in here and tell me how I'm an idiot by even suggesting that we, as one people, implement some sort of procreation laws or scientific remedies to prevent mass reproduction that will be infringing upon our human rights. And I can see that point. I'm suffocating even thinking about it. But it's sensible. We have laws and rules that already do such. Not just anyone can drive. We have to pass a test. But anyone can have 11 kids, all the while passing on the responsibility of raising them to a single mother who thinks she's doing a good job by having a 12th to get a bigger welfare check to support them.
If we fix overpopulation, we can "fix" this planet. Perhaps not infinitely because yes, oil and other resources are finite, but you can bet your *** we'll go on a helluva lot longer, in a society that makes a helluva lot more sense.
We live in a crazy world.
Let the flaming begin.
