Our biggest enemy. Ourselves.

So we ain't going back to the moon in the near future. Too costly. But I don't want the savings spent on more wars. The point being that if we had channeled our war-mongering budget of recent years on moon shots, we'd probably be colonizing the lunar surface by now. Our social programs would be in good shape, too. And the same goes for our nation's sagging infrastructure. But we gotta have a defense. Against our enemies. But we don't have a defense yet against our biggest enemy. Ourselves. --Jim Broede
