wish they'd stop building houses of of wood. I'm sure that with a few billion dollars in research, we could develope inexpensive ways of building custom houses from concrete and steel.
Alternatives are all well and good, but as was pointed out during the Apollo era, the money would not be diverted into, say, education or whatever, it would just not be spent at all- and would diaappear. The good causes are already after money, and it does not arrive. The new causes, eg, spaceflight get an allocation. If the cash wasn't allocted, it doen't just hang around, to be donated. Funds have to be raised by people puting a case for them. Sure, 1$T would go a long way towards AIDS research- so why hasn't it been sent that way? Govt funding isn't that simple... unfortunately...
"...Now, nearer home, comes a special bulletin from Trenton, New Jersey. It is reported that at 8:50 P. M. a huge, flaming object, believed to be a meteorite, fell on a farm in the neighborhood of Grovers Mill, New Jersey, twenty-two miles from Trenton.
The flash in the sky was visible within a radius of several hundred miles and the noise of the impact was heard as far north as Elizabeth.
We have dispatched a special mobile unit to the scene, and will have our commentator, Carl Phillips, give you a word picture of the scene as soon as he can reach there from Princeton."
It's because they contain inflammatory ideas such as fair-use recording, and people watching region encoded DVDs on their legally region-free players, and soforth. Just imagine the anarchy and outrage that would ensue if non-Kiwis saw such scandalous behaviour was possible!! Someone is obviously thinking of the (non-NZ)children!
in "...some other *cough* Australian *cough* governments" imagine brackets where the *cough* is - he's not implying that you're part of Oz...but probably loads of others have... he's having a go at OzGov.
