All life has the same amount of evolutionary investment by your measure. So let's send some microbes and call it a day. Don't terraform Mars, how about let Mars be Mars.
The moral and ethical questions alone should make that obvious. How can you condemn future generations to carry a mission they didn't have any say about, may not wish to participate in...
You could say the same about The Mayflower. That worked out OK, didn't it?
Most votes since Reagan is what he said. When the reporter reminded him that Obama had more he said most votes for a republican since Reagan. When the reporter reminded him that GHWB had more he said that was what he was told.
but it still results in more wealth per capita than any other time in human history
It's interesting how you measure wealth, historically wealth was measured by land, gold, and gemstones. There's no argument that by that definition per capita wealth is much lower.
You prefer to measure it by access to health care (and possibly tv channels?), which I will agree that by your terms at least, people are somewhat better off, though still likely not better than US Americans when there was a stronger middle class (because there really haven't been any wonderful medical advances since 1960 or so). The point is, people benefit from having jobs that pay a good wage, not robots that take those jobs away. That's true unless you're the top 0.01% - those people may benefit from screwing the middle and working class, but even that remains to be seen.
No HSRs aren't really profitable but that doesn't matter. Public transportation isn't supposed to be profitable. Imagine if NYC never built a subway because it was too expensive.
I'm on the left and I'm actually pro-coal. I'd love to see Ohio and PA voters working in coal mines well into the next century since it's so important to them.
Coal gets an instant return on investment, you chuck it into the fire and you get heat. Solar has a future payout. It's hard to believe that you can't grasp that concept but let's put it another way: nobody is starting new coal mining operations, but plenty of smart investors are getting into solar. Why do you think that is?
That's the wrong way to look at it. Let's take a look at how much power $100 worth of solar panels generates over 20 or 30 years vs $100 worth of coal.
Not too long ago Apple defied an order to unlock a known terrorists' phone. Today, Facebook is rolling over on ordinary protesters. Times are changing.
Public schools are basically just warehouses where children are stored so their parents can get some work done. We need smart people in charge though, and that's why everyone is comfortable with Trump's pick for education secretary, who has never been warehoused in such a place or let her children be warehoused in such.
Exposure to peanuts will either cause no symptoms or allergy symptoms depending on the baby. If they cause allergy symptoms and don't kill the baby, then you have successfully administered homeopathy.

He's talking about Nuclear Winter, which would cool things down a bit, but maybe still not the ideal solution.

Why, that's completely UN-Presidented!
No we need a space escalator. Much more presidential.
200 blacks are killed by whites every year.
In Chicago?

70% of Swedish youths are pirates. Don't tell me that number isn't related to Somalian refugees.

That's his whole point. He's arguing for slowing down automation so that everyone doesn't lose their jobs all at once.
Still I miss the good old days when conservatives were behind the censorship and liberals railed against it. When did that flip?
Onion sites still work no matter what? Well that's news to me.
Sounds like you are of the mind that "Oh well, we'll all be raptured in my lifetime, so what, me Worry?"
Typical Christian "trash the hotel room" mentality. That's why I worry about them more than Muslims.

I just hope they freeze Snowden in carbonite and ship him by bounty hunter.

You mean the ones where nobody died and weren't terrorism anyway? Maybe the US should ban white people since most mass shootings are by white guys.

I understand why you think that but the dictionary disagrees with you.

My point was that this is an example of effective homeopathy.
How about exposing babies to peanuts so they don't develop life-threatening allergies later on?
