Our Solar System is far enough from the core of the galaxy to not have any issues with the fierce gravity field nor are we close to anything on the spiral arm to harm us. Wouldn't it be likely that life had trouble to survive closer to the center of our galaxy because of hostile nature; gamma-rays and whatnot?
The planet itself is far enough from the Sun to not kill us from heat or the near absolute zero of space. It appears that the ingredients for life are everywhere in our solor system.
The planet is protected by all the other planets from comets and asteroids (and the Sun for that matter). Our atmosphere protects from any material that gets through any of those other barriers. And most of our planet is covered by water so odds are if anything gets through the atmosphere it will cause less damage by hitting water rather than a land mass. Not to burst the bubble but a great majority of damage caused by an asteriod hitting the planet is the compressed shockwave after it hits the atmosphere and explodes. The smaller piece that makes it to the surface (ocean) causing a 1000ft tsunami is freaky enough.
The Earth has many scars of impacts from the past and tons more which were geologically washed away. Looking at the magnitude of those impacts I imagine one of the main reason we're here is life ability to rebound from catastrophe.
They just don't want their citizens to know they ripped everyone's technology off and that they send baby toys to the US covered in lead. Call it national pride.
How this 'act' was passed into law is the main problem with our system(IMHO). Should congress pass a law masquerading as something else; a law that affects the very basis of our country's survival? (freedom)
I must say that it appears in our history that regretful laws are passed during catastrophe and national trauma......And, by the time we're done analyzing this one law the next will be ready and pushed on us with god knows what riding with it.
So, my question is; is there a way to halt new laws from being pushed on us before this fades from our minds? Or maybe it doesn't fade but instead soaks assloads of our resources fighting it...
Exactly.. Isn't this the point where normal people revolt against what is wrong? Muslim's should get off their asses about it and say something on every news channel around the world anytime one of their suicide-psychos presses that button.
