Big Blue Machine

We shouldn't have stopped going to the moon, the hardware was proven and was getting even better. The only reason they stopped was politics. They should have ended the Vietnam war sooner so more money could be put into NASA. Everyone lost interest sadly, when Apollo 14-17 came around, the public thought the mission were normal. How is going to the moon and landing on it normal? Apollo 15-17 had the rover and colour camera, but no one was watching. Colour television from the moon took only a few moments of their time, nothing more. Some of the people said it costed too much. 25 billion at the end of the Apollo program, and look what it did. It sent 24 astrouants to the moon, and half as many walked on it's surface. We got half a ton of moon rock and soil. We made discoveries on the moon, that excitied the scientists. I think 25 billion is a mdoest price. The real reason wasn't to claim it, or conquer it, or simply beat the Russians to it. We went to the moon to see if we could make the journey. If we can do that, if we can voyage from the earth to the moon, then there's hope for all of us, because we can do anything. I think man should go back to the moon.

This government isn't going to last long if we kepp having close-ones.

I heard NATO was created because they didn't trust the UN on military issues.

Can't NATO just by-pass the UN and go into a country on its own?

We shouldn't build our own subs, but we should buy better ones.

EVERY government is corrupt is it's own little way, even NDP governments. Don't be shocked when a big money scandal comes out, get used to it. It's easier to accept it, then to fight it.

Here is the link. http://www.davekopel.org/Terror/Fiftysix-D...renheit-911.htm This long article interested me. I have always known that Moore shows a slanted view. But this is different. And the funny thing is people believe him.

The Sponsorship thing is old news. Every government wastes money and is corrupt. That's how government works.

I think the feds should spend half of it, then use the rest for debt.

I meant literacy test*

We have a high school litery test in grade 10, and I think it's a good thing we have it.

Merry Christmas too

I say give the Liberals 1 and half to 2 years in office THEN bring down the house.

The subs are nuclear, I thought they would have nuclear weapons on them too.

The NDP doesn't quite have the magic number of seats for the Liberals to hop in bed with them. But this parliament will be the most left leaning government in 30 years.

They have formed a government in Ontario, and they hit many icebergs. But that;s my opinion. Everyone can ht icebergs if the people's opinion is opposite from you.

Aren't all nuclear weapons banned from Canada?

I don't have a problem with the Patriot Act, because I have nothing to hide. The government can look at my school grades or my library book check outs or what ever.

The reason the governmnet bought these "subs" is that they were strapped for cash. A Conservative government would have bought better subs.

It turns out that the paper that the submarine was made out of, is fammablie.

The NDP's ship has been sunk for a while and they are trying to raise it up by filling it up with table tennis balls.

Martin and Layton aren't good looking in my opinion. Harper is better but not much better. Duceppe looks like Galom from lord of the rings.

That's your opinion.

Jack Layton with movie star looks what?

Strange that we are better friends to them, instead of them to us, because we are their largest trading partner
