And so when someone says, “We don’t have enough money for this space probe,” I’m saying, no, it’s not that you don’t have enough money, it’s that the distribution of money that you’re spending is warped in some way that you are removing the only thing that gives people something to dream about tomorrow.

and now I’m depressed. Is there any government agency more fucked up than NASA? Seriously. Not returning to the moon until 2020? We did it the first time in less than ten years, and it’s going to take another 11 years from now to do it again–when we have the infrastructure already? Let’s not talk about why we don’t already have permanent base there.
Did I mention I’m depressed?

A: We are Devo http://keithperkins.net/2009/03/06/q-are-we-not-men-a-we-are-devo http://keithperkins.net/2009/03/06/q-are-we-not-men-a-we-are-devo#comments Sat, 07 Mar 2009 01:11:18 +0000 Keith http://keithperkins.net/2009/03/06/q-are-we-not-men-a-we-are-devo Seems that scientists have found a resurrected gene

A gene that is active in humans today died out during our primate evolution and came back to life again. This is the first time such a “resurrection” event has been identified, researchers say.

Since we seem to be devolving, I thought Devo might be appropriate.
