Hi BD,
Oh, and one more thing...kiss my unimpressed derriere, preacher.
Gee, and I thought a preacher was a religious guy who specialised in brainwashing the gullible!
Have you lived with your head up your ass all your life (or doesn't news percolate through to China?) Have you really no idea how NASA researches its ventures? Or why? No idea of benefits that have come from decades of research?
Do you feel proud that man has planted his feet on another world (don't tell me you are one of the 'man didn't go to the moon' conspiracy theorists!) or would you rather we still plodded around in sheepskins and lived in caves?
When I hear of someone trashing the achievements of others, or of mankind in general I conclude (born out by experience) that I'm in listening to a small-minded ill-informed moaner.
Oh, and your malaria medicine example cuts both ways: do you know how many Africans have been estimated to have died of AIDS over the past 3 decades due to the Catholic Church's refusal to promote contraception information? ....another proud moment of religious decision-making!
