Thank you for a concise, cogent posting that's utterly correct. That's "right" for you gray-world believers, who are thus "wrong."
Since anything which could offend Christians is posted and published and promoted ad nauseum, we in the West shouldn't also be afraid to publish innocent pictures of Mohammed alongside so-called offensive ones (like the Danish cartoons)....better to stop now before the rant begins.
-I indeed own a bunghole, so I own an opinion.
I love Bill. He attained the pinnacle of success under capitalism in its current form; now he wants to change it to make it 'kinder' and thus harder to attain his level of success for the future. Just as with Ted Turner suddenly deciding he can have 5 kids but anyone else now should only have 1, Bill's money has blinded his objectivity.
It's always the same story with the super-rich. They hide their moneys away from taxation in complicated trust schemes and overseas accounts and take out full-page ads in the big papers to call for tax raises on the highest tax brackets which start at the fabulously wealthy $75k/year.
Don't make us hate you more, Bill. I'm going to go buy a[nother] Mac now.
I think you're onto something... it is quite likely politically motivated, this sudden vociferous opposition. If you funded a well-marketed push to establish a Moon base, people would follow. Just pay Bill Clinton enough money and he'll sell the idea to the world.
I'm not sure asteroids are sellable, however, since we're constantly reminded that one of the many millions of asteroids could wipe us out any time in the next 100 million years. The moon's not a threat, except in the Time Machine movie.
