NASA

Ok. So. I can admit to being fairly uninformed about this issue

And no one has asked for my opinion (oddly enough)

But I think NASA needs to be defunded

And that money needs to go to healthcare

We could theoretically

Provide free healthcare to every single citizen in the USA

With that money

And what do we need space exploration for exactly?

Unless the government is not only willing to admit to global warming

But to the extinction of earth

And the need for a new planet to be found

Then why keep funding it?

That has absolutely NO significance in my life



The money could be better served in protecting the environment

Saving the earth

Implementing sustainable energy into every aspect of American life

From cars to electricity

Even I can see the idiocy of funding into the BILLIONS of dollars

Something for all intents and purposes is practically useless

Keep the telescopes manned

Keep space exploration from the ground open

Coordinate with other countries if desired

For outer space sharing of data

Keep the scientist employed

But put that money into sectors that ACTUALLY improve

Most people's DAILY lives

I know. Crazy idea. Isn't it?

I'm not usually a wrathful person

everyone has their sticking points in life

But in general I try to stay loose

Not let things get to me too much

Yesterday though

My computer was hacked

And I felt all sorts of violated and intruded upon

Hacking

Unless serving some general goodwill

(think Robin Hood)

Is a horrible and vial thing to do

Just as intrusive as a home invasion

Or an assault

In that it takes from you

In areas you may not even be aware it is taking from you

Private information that can bite you in the ass

Big time

And the repercussions

Can reverberate for months

Years even

Financially

Stress Wise

Security

Not to sound paranoid

But the line to take things from you

Can seem infinitive

When it's not just who you know coming

Like the IRS (for example)

But all sorts of heathens and mongrels

Seem to be salivating at the mouth

Trying to sink their teeth into you

These cyber criminals should be sought after more fervently

Than the money and time given to victimless crimes

But it's like a cry in the dark

As the status quo keeps moving on

Keeps on keeping on
