A well-grounded approach

E-Mail Print

We live in a imperfect world. Man will always have gripes; that's our makeup. That's what motivates us to change. But let's throw some common sense in it, like why are people going toward destruction? Bomb crazy. Bomb people, countries, deserts. No reaction. How about the moon? What do they think they will hit, a gush of oil or gold and flow to Earth?

We need to stay grounded and stop spending millions of dollars floating in space, destroying things that have been here before man. We just about destroyed the Earth, now we want to destroy other planets. There is a reason they're so far away. Our father in heaven knew we would have child attitudes and had to put things up, out of reach. And like children, we had to figure a way to get it. But realize there is consequence for all our behavior. Spend money that we can help now homelessness, gangs, security, health care, getting more jobs going. Forget about floating in space. That will be here in due time.
