Well, I’m not sure the dream of walking on the stars is more noble than the dream of eradicating poverty.
Myself, I’d like to see free enterprise in charge of space exploration. I don’t see it as a constitutional mandate.
And of course, I believe the best war on poverty would involve far less government, less taxation, less regulation, proper enforcement of contracts, and enforcement of the law - not welfare.
Marie2, no one dreams of eradicating poverty.
Especially young kids. Can you imagine yourself looking up at the stars and being told that for some reason, your dream as a little kid is to eradicate poverty?
Don’t think so.
Actually, I CAN create a scenario like that, but it would be a dream of power, and how to achieve it, by stealing the dreams of mankind.
I appreciate the response though.
It gets the thought process going. :)
