Luddites

Remember when scientists were adventurous? Remember when research was encouraged to push the limits of what mankind can achieve?

Remember when they said man could never fly? Remember when Galileo recanted his thinking before the Italian Inquisition? Socrates and the cup of hemlock? Well, I wasn't there either, but I read about it.

So, now apparently the good scientists want man to stay in his proper little boxes, lest we be accused of messing with Mom Nature:

GlowBall Warmening Comes From Space Tourists!

You've got to be F'ing S***ing me!! And the worst part about it is when you read the comments and see how many people believe in this superstitious garbage!! Here's an idea. Allow them the delusion that the soot is in any way dangerous. Measure the amount of this soot that is blasted into the atmosphere by average volcanic activity every year, and then determine how many thousands of space launches it would take to equal this. Do a little math, see where it gets you. Apparently their "scientists" aren't very proficient in mathematics.
