Life on Mars?By
Dewey Maggard
Isn’t that just dandy? The space trotters are telling us once again -they “think’ Life is on Mars. Do
you remember–at the time of Presidential elections of 2000, the same story made head lines? Why? Here is what I think! These outerspace wizards need more funding- or want more funding. If these people are so intent on having life on Mars, then let them hop the space shuttles to deliver them on Mars: then let them colonize Mars. Then it can be said there is life on Mars.–Now once there, don’t allow any of them to come back to earth- as they do not fully appreciate life here on earth. If they really did, then life on Mars would be just so much melarky as it is with most of the people I have spoken with. We need to be concerned with life here on our own earth. It appears to be senseless to try and persuade these inteligent people that if our Omnipotent Creator had intended life to be on Mars, then there would be life on Mars. He created this earth to be inhabited- (Read it in your bible;Isa 45:18)
Yet these, hopeful planet jumpers have good reason to believe their budget may be cut. They simply can’t reason with this. After all, they become accustomed to have a life style that they believe places them as a public hero. They are the darlings of today’s society. They love the attention the media gives them.
You want to solve the social security problem. Then let us cut NASA or at least 90 percent of their agenda. The money that is used for Space Exploration affects the national budget. The budget committee has had no problem with dipping into Social Security funds. It is well known and admitted by the White House that Social Security funds have been tapped over a period of several years. The Social Security funds are or should be sacred- they are placed there in trust. We citizens would be prosecuted if we dip into funds that are held in trust. For example, as an employer, the amount of money you withhold from your employees is money held in trust to be dispensed to the Federal Insurance Contribution Funds (Social Security) or your Withholding tax is to be dispensed to the treasury for Income tax purposes. The F.I.C.A. funds have nothing to do with Income Taxes. Yet these funds are all disbursed through the use of one quarterly form designed for use by the IRS. Those funds belong to the people whom they were withheld from. On the other hand, the funds designated as Withholding Taxes belong to the Government by reason of whatever current tax laws are in force.
John Q Public needs to let this government know in no uncertain terms that we do not approve of our government spending billions on the space exploration program. My opinion of course.- What is yours?
