What a great time to be alive! Science and technology have nearly eradicated a great many diseases (even if a number of enthusiastic but misinformed people seem to be going to great lengths to keep these illnesses alive), communications technology has finally reached the level of the old Dick Tracy comics (he was famous for this wrist-watch communicator), and people are finally trying to go back to the moon---AND BEYOND!
Here is a lovely photo I took of the moon a few years ago (I "cleaned it up" a bit, digitally, so that folks could better make out some of the more interesting features on the lunar face.) It's a majestic sight to behold!
Yep... It's a great time to be alive! Let's hope the idiots in charge let us STAY alive long enough for even MORE innovations to be developed! Fingers (and tentacles) crossed!
