The End Times?
Edited on Fri Aug-29-03 01:44 AM by khephra
I look at my watch and I notice the hands have stopped.

I look at the sky and I see Mars rising.

Then I realize that it's not rising, it's saying goodbye.

Never in my life did I think I would be able to say that "the times, they are a changing"

But now's the time.

The times, they are a changing.

We are not the children of the age of Aquarius. We are the children of the Age of Mars...but the good news is that it has peaked.

No, this is not an astrology thread.

The Black Iron Prison will hold us no more.

We see a bright future, and damn it, we're going to have it.

The battle lines are drawn. The Right has declared a Culture War.

How many times will we turn our cheeks?

Together, no matter who you support...know this...this may be the end game for this country.

Choose wisely...whoever you choose.

The future rests upon every person who reads this, and those who don't.

Go out and make a difference.

Go out and make sure Mars won't have another country to call his own.

1. "Make sure Mars won't have another country to call his own"
I'll have to work that into my campaign slogan when I run for City Council. ;)

7. Yup Kef, done it again.
Mars must be put to rest. The planey cannot afford it. Even w/o war we humans are in dire danger what with over population and diminishing resources.

Its together we survive, apart we are doomed.

11. The "turning of the cheek" has ended
Mars in the sky is our call to arms.

Now we fight.

13. So, let's go to Mars
Let's have the world unite in an effort to collectively go to Mars. I don't mean just one or two people. I don't mean 25. I mean, let's all go. Let's start working on terraforming Mars -- with the millions of brains on this planet, surely we can overcome any obstacle. In doing so, we will rise from our economic doldrums. In doing so, we may find some answers to the problems that we're all facing (energy, technology, deteriorating ecosystem).

Let's make it so that the planet named for the god of war be the force that puts an end to war. This is one goal that the whole world can unite in and we can all accomplish something huge.

15. Let's build a base on the moon first
I think that is the key to all future space flights. It is easier to launch and land on the Moon than it is on the earth with its massive atmosphere.

NASA should build a space station on the moon, then everything else will come easier.
