[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]
We, as a nation, have been subjected to two generations of outright bullshit from our supposed “leaders” and now have fewer rights, less money and less freedom, while we’re busy fighting each other over stupid shit like gay marriage. And, no, Brian, I don’t mean gay marriage is stupid, I mean it’s a contrived “issue” that is sufficiently divisive to keep our focus off what’s really happening.

And to bring us back to the original issue, that really happening is the squandering of $1 Trillion dollars a year on graft, wars and cronyism. Starting back with Bush and carrying through Obama.

That’s 400 Mars Curiosity Program in total each year. For 10+ years.

Wow, can you imagine if we had run 4000 Mars style programs?
