Matter Of Internal Security - The Age-old Cry Of The Oppressor. Picard

It Seems To Me Obvious In Too Many Ways To Need Listing That We Cannot Much Longer Depend Upon Our Planet's Relatively Fragile Ecosystem To Handle The Realities Of The Human Tomorrow. Unless We Turn Human Growth And Energy Toward The Challenges And Promises Of Space, Our Only Other Choice May Be The Awful Risk, Currently Demonstrable, Of Stumbling Into A Cycle Of Fratricide And Regression Which Could End All Chances Of Our Evolving Further Or Of Even Surviving.

Religions Vary In Their Degree Of Idiocy, But I Reject Them All.
