President George Bush Plans to Return to the Moon in 2018: A "Been There; Done That" Moment.
I began to seriously doubt our president's sanity until a new word had entered America's lexicon back in 2004. Does anyone remember Ricin? It is not as frightening a word as Anthrax but it still stirred up fears when the deadly powered poison was found during a Senate session back in 2004. The discovery of Ricin created turmoil at Capital Hill. Senate offices locked up buildings that are usually busy with staff members during the day. This discovery represented the still at large presence of terrorism.
A speck can be deadly if swallowed or injected. It is like anthrax in that there is no known antidote. Reminiscence, of the still unsolved anthrax mail attack back in 2001; this new poison is not a battlefield weapon. Unlike anthrax spores, and nerve gas its long, linked proteins break apart and is not easily absorbed through the skin. Ricin is used more for assassination attempts by white supremacist to fight the FBI and political assassins.
Why is it we haven't heard a word about "Ricin" for three years now? It seems the fear of Ricin has been replaced with threats from Iraq and South Korea each day as well as bird flu, mad cow disease, Small Pox and now TB.
A woman I know is still terrified of handling her mail because she thinks it may contain anthrax. President Bush continues to reassure people that everything is fine and to go on living our lives. I look up at the Florida sky as I did in New York whenever I hear an airplane fly by that sounds like it may be flying too low.
I love Earth, lived there most of my life. Bush's plan to go back to the moon in the year 2018 is a "Been there done that" moment but does it sound that far fetched? My only complaint today is why does it have to be the Moon? Can't we try to colonize a planet more exotic like Mars, Venus, or Pluto, instead? Well, see you on the Moon in a couple of years!

Post a CommentInteresting idea. Thanks.
Hopefully George W. Bush will love the moon so much he stays there! Great article!
I, for one, love the idea - so long as it presumes that he (George W. Bush) will be the first (and perhaps sole) colonist! Our world might well be a safer place if he were on the moon.

Thanks for sharing. Hope you visit some of my articles as well. Thanks.
Well, as any salesperson knows, you get a sale and your way by injecting fear into the cutomer, or, in this case the people. If he keeps feeding our fears, then he has the excuse to be over in Iraq on behalf of the oil companies. Republicans are only for the corporations. They've been selling we Americans' rights to banks, insurance co's, oil co's, and the big medicine cons. They only 'pretend' to be Christian to get the vote, but you can tell a true Christian by their fruits....I don't see any. They're in office and won the lottery, they don't care about the rest of us out here getting ripped off by every industry there is.
I love the space program for exploration of things we don't yet know. Maybe George W. Bush will ride along and stay on the moon. Great article - thanks.
Great story, but I also agree with handlingthetruth.
Great article. An enjoyable read.

I have to agree with handlingthetruth. Great article though!
