We must treat NEAs in the same manner as the French treat snails. We should consume them.

No, I don’t mean we EAT THEM! I recommend asteroid mining, and soon. Those suckers are PeGgyMaEs - Platinum Group Metal “motherlodes”. One peggymae NEA is equal in value to the annual gross Global income (one hell of a lot ‘a moola).

At present we have the technology, and lord knows, we have to get rid of those hazards. Right?

The NEA (National Education Association) is applying to the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) for money to do a documentary on NEAs (Near Earth Asteroids). The only conclusion is that anything with the initials NEA is extremely dangerous.

“NEA are far more dangerous that global warming”

Yes, but Bolsheviks can’t use NEA to pass environmental regulation and treaties for controlling private property and industry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Long ago, the mice had a general council to consider what measures they could take to outwit their common enemy, the Cat.

Some said this, and some said that; but at last a young mouse got up and said he had a proposal to make, which he thought would meet the case.

“You will all agree,” said he, “that our chief danger consists in the sly and treacherous manner in which the enemy approaches us. Now, if we could receive some signal of her approach, we could easily escape from her.
I venture, therefore, to propose that a small bell be procured, and attached by a ribbon round the neck of the Cat. By this means we should always know when she was about, and could easily retire while she was in the neighborhood.”

This proposal met with general applause, until an old mouse got up and said: “That is all very well, but who is to bell the Cat?”
