Too much to deal with.

OK, I will step in here with a few rude comments.

Who is hitssquad? Seriously. It's easy to tell who I am and who other
participants are.

Space colonization efforts have a pretty small impact on the human race
currently. Why is hitssquad making so many hostile comments among a
small group of people who happen to be interested in the subject? Just
how is ssi_list hurting anyone?

Here are some more interesting targets, at least if you want to address
things that are having significant impacts upon Americans. Health care
spending was, the last time I checked, about 100 times the entire NASA
budget and about 16% of the GNP. Quite a few people claim -- with some
support -- that we are wasting huge amounts of money there. The finance
sector now comprises 20% of GNP. Again, quite a few reasonable people
claim that is unhealthy for the country and world. Then there is the
destructive epidemic of "law enforcement." Since 1982 we have increased
funding for these liars about 400%. Law enforcement schemes are, in the
view of too many, actively harming the country and the world without
providing any benefit -- except, of course, to law enforcers and their
hostile to liberty supporters.

Perhaps humans never will move off world in any significant way. I
think we will, but I've been wrong before. Still, though, what harm
does talking about it do? What harm do even modest expenditures along
those lines do?

Currently I am rereading Mills "On Liberty." The more things change,
the more they remain the same.

Please ignore the troll. I will. Over the next week there is not only
the ISDC, there are also things like a Maryland Federation of Art
opening, a couple of Hash House Harriers runs, Artomatic, and more.
That's for me. I hope others on this list also have plans.

Best,
