| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I thought it was a great idea after funding was refused by the Congress. Edward Tufte did a great job at his seminar on Graphics selling the site. SETI@home is what Lincoln had in mind when he said, "Government should only do for people what they cannot do for themselves." It would be amazing to see how many problems the People could solve if turned loose from the Federal Government. Shoot, could you imagine what would happen if the Gov let you manage your Social Security Account. Might even have some money when you are old enought to retire. Well, I need to get back working to pay for government. It is only February 13, 2003, Tax Free Day is not until May 21, 2003. Remember what Will Rogers said, "thank God we don't get all the Government we pay for!"
