Government Priorities

Yes, we have to remember that all governments set priorities. Consider the US government as an example. Here is a government that has set as its highest priority foreign adventurism. How else can you explain the ongoing outpouring of funding for such worthwhile projects as the further destruction of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Libya? And they have obviously decided that putting Syria in the cross-hairs is far more important then "taking care of the United States," or demonstrating fiscal responsibility.

Must be true!! How else can a group of questionably intelligent leaders possibly feel it realistic and reasonable to allow citizens to lose their jobs, their homes, their hopes, and their children's futures to be lost in natural disasters as well as man-made disasters here in America, while pouring billions of dollars into the destruction of people's jobs, homes, hopes, and their children's futures in foreign lands? If this is the case, then it is a clear cut choice. A clear cut setting of priorities. But for who's benefit? How could that same group choose to destroy entire industries, some of which other industries are built on, to satisfy a theoretical belief that carbon dioxide, the molecule that all plant life relies upon for existence, is pollution, but the radiation from a billion cell phones does no harm what so ever?

And then there is GMOs - genetically modified organisms. We all know that radiation causes mutation. We all know that mutations, when they take hold, are not necessarily in the best interests of Earth or man, but we go out and modify plants and animals with our great intelligence, and haven't a clue what will happen should that organism mutate due to exposure to radiation or possibly even high frequency radio waves mixing in the cell as they pass through. We play God, but lack His controls. And these, too, are government priorities as well.

Oh well, who knows, maybe comet Elenin will turn out to be the savior some hope for, or the destroyer others fear or maybe it will be just another harmless bit of space debris passing through the Solar System. Maybe it won't matter, especially if the icecaps melt and flood the coastal cities and creates new agricultural tracts in the far north, or if a new ice age dawns, the seas shrink and re-creates the land bridge between Alaska and Russia and raises Atlantis above the waves in the South China Sea. One thing is certain, whatever happens will happen, and I doubt that my existence will make one damn bit of difference.
