Think about it this way...

Your parents are non-american and you are born in another country.  You
are very interested in space but your country is small and sparsely
populated.  I.e.  there is not enough capital to fund a space program...
What do you do?  Well, you could change countries, but then you will not
be with your family and friends any longer.  Or you can take a different
approach and participate from the outside, trying to offer constructive
criticism (what henry appears to be trying to do).  I don't believe that
you people could be so naive as to believe that just because someone was
born in a particular region of this planet that all of their interests
are centered there.

How many of you are interested in other countries who are experiencing
problems that are either economical or political.  If you can't accept
the people of this world as THE HUMAN RACE but as these guys and those
guys, you are very shallow.  The people and the races of this world will
probably be here at least as long as you are and most likely much
longer.  No matter how hard you try to push others by the way because
they are not like you (some of you people must think you are the only
ones here), they are not going to leave.

If we ever expect to get anywhere in space we must stop the damn arms
race.  To do that we must learn to live and work together in PEACE.  All
of this stupid, childish and down right primeval name calling is not
becomming of educated people.

CAN WE PLEASE STOP THIS CRAP!!!!
