On the heels of Mikes last post

Where will it all end indeed.
These are my personal thoughts on the state of this messed up little rock spinning around the sun.
This new NASA and its super rich friends ,mission to the moon.....really... can they not channel the money into something that would acutely make a difference here on earth.
How many sight restoring operations could be funded.....Cancer research... Water the deserts for food production, big desalination projects providing drinking water....and more.
I really feel for the Moon......its the next thing humans are going to stuff up.
Planet Mars....if you're looking ....adjust your orbit while you can ...humans have their eye on you, and it wont go well.

For years, I've been a great fan of Tom Paxton for his social comment, especially when it comes to government stupidity. As he says in the intro to this song, the bureaucracy keeps providing him with new inspiration.

My feelings exactly, Mike.
Every time that I look at our lovely old Moon, I realise that our Lump of Rock would be a totally different, barren place, without her wonderful companionship.
...and now some annoying arseoles are intent on cocking it all up for everything on our Planet Earth and all that it contains.
It's what Human Beings are hell-bent on doing!
...which is why I love all my Garden Birds!

...and now Planet Mars is in sight, for all the busy-bodies to make a Pigs-ear of it..as they do...!

Paul....Leaving stuff alone.... :thumbup: ....!
