but if we know that we're destroying the planet, why nnot stop and try and reverse some of the damage we've done? and why not use the money to explore things we don't know anything about on THIS planet? Like all of the millions of creatures in the ocean....if we ever did find aliens, would they think we were dummies for not being able to communicate with 9/10 of the earth's inhabitants? I'm on the way to work, so I dont have time to click the links, but I'll look at all the info when I get home...and yea slip we are spending too much on the war, in both money and manpower....
