is there nothing better to spend money on?!?

Ok so its been two months since my last post and its been REALLY busy and at the same time alot of time wasting around here without the structure of school in my life any more. So I dont suppose this was the post I expected to mark my return to blogging but this is what happens when you end up wathcing history channel late at night:

Does anyone realise how much money is being spent on MARS EXPLORATION?!?!?! BILLIONS AND BILLIONS and may I say BILLIONS of dollars!! Now I don't mean to be cliche but there are still in fact starving people on THIS planet that maybe deserve some attention.

"well you know, there may be some water on there that may support life"
"in the future when we get there, we plan to make it more like earth by warming it up with greenhouse gases"
Yep thats what the man said: "we're doing it here right now!" go warm up Mars with carbon emmissions.


All the while I'm thinking all this money being spent on a fantasy, a theory, for the sake of curiosity! Following in the wake of Galileo, trying to touch the thing in the other end of the telescope. yeah sure its one of THE unique traits of human beings to be curious, but seriously! how we prioritise sometimes............
