| (If the invasive pollution will be absorbed without harm, that doesn't make the polluting act any less repugnant.) Agreed. I highly doubt that there's no harm done from ceaselessly poisoning the environment. The burden of proof for that lies upon the shoulders of those making that claim. I can't ju... |

| Ha ha, I tend to agree with you, Michael829. I do think that the exploration of space is important, as is all scientific inquiry - but people, even scientists, seem to want to believe that they don't have to think things through before they implement them, they don't have to worry about contaminati... |

| I also suggest learning more about how science really works and why it is so important. We can't all be a science-expert like you :D As a typical Science-Worshipper, you feel a mission and a duty to defend science from the anti-science heathens, but supporting all science, every experiment, as long... |

| Always salt. I was on a salt free diet for a short time while in the hospital when I was 20 and it was terrible. My parents smuggled me in a hamburger and fries and I thought that was the greatest thing I had ever tasted. Whenever I've tried to make the sauce, I always sauteed the garlic pretty well... |

there’s nothing we can do to harm it with our current technologies.
Probably not.
Definitely not. |

| For what it's worth, the cost of launching trash into space so that we could drop it into the sun is so great that you don't have to worry about your sensibilities being offended by us dropping our leftover garbage into the sun. I do imagine that some people would love to have their bodies dropped i... |

There is no reason why a probe with less mass that a small car would have any effect on the Sun whatsoever. ...probably. There's something calle... |

| The probability that a space probe would cause an issue with the sun is about the same as the probability than the sun will spontaneously turn itself into a giant meatball That's doubtful, but irrelevant. Spontaneous events are out of our hands. As I've been repeating, there probably won't be harm.... |

| The Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason? Okay. I admit that I never found it all that funny when I was growing up. Some of it may be from the fact that for a kid on a ranch far from the nearest city, it was difficult to relate to a show about life in a small apartment in a big city. The only funny thi... |

| I read a news article early in Obama's reign about his first trip to Saudi Arabia. Those who he was meeting with had a list of things they wished to discuss. Obama only wanted to discuss one thing -- the rights of the Palestinian Muslims. That weren't anywhere on Saudi Arabia's list. It seems that n... |

The other, Grand Staircase-Escalante, was made a national monument in 1996 and it is being reduced by nearly half. What he has done is move the land from one category of Federal land to a... |
