SCREW THE HOME PLANET---JUST LEAVE ME ALONE

"You've got a President who says global warming is a hoax, and across the Potomac river you've got a Pentagon preparing for climate wars. It's pretty scary when Bush starts to ignore his own government on this issue."
Rob Gueterbock of Greenpeace.

Although the Long War President doesn’t want to bother too much with safeguarding or saving this planet, he does want NASA to keep their eyes and machines on other
worlds :
From 2002 until this year, NASA’s mission statement (in its budget and planning documents) read: “To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can.”
In February, the words “to understand and protect our home planet” were removed. In this year’s budget and planning documents, NASA'S mission is “to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.”
Of course, “scientific discovery and aeronautics research” can be translated as military development.
Dr. Hansen [who directs the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, a NASA office] said the change might reflect White House eagerness to shift the spotlight away from global warming.
“They’re making it clear that they have the authority to make this change, that the president sets the objectives for NASA, and that they prefer that NASA work on something that’s not causing them a problem,” he said.
Thus, the Decider continues to show how much he wants to forget about this planet’s health and Global Warming.
His philosophy is something like this: Let others who live after me worry about the planet’s health, just as others will have to clean up my mess in Iraq.
Yes, the earth’s denizens must wait for a more compassionate and rational leader to save their home planet.
In the meantime, George W. Bush will continue to munch his pretzels and rolls, spew out foul language, and look for those armadillos on his ranch.
Oh, and milk his camels!
Tomorrow can wait.
Today is all that matters.
Exploit other planets.
Leave me alone!
