Call for A Spacefaring Civilization
Spacefaring Civilization Needed Now More Than Ever
This article speaks very well for itself. Being an unashamed "spacehawk", the Chief fully concurs.
We must either continue to progress and grow, or we will regress and start heading for the bottom. If you don't think so, get hold of some good history books. There is really no such thing as a stable civilization. Whenever a state of supposed stability is achieved, the forces of entropy are already mustering their attack.
It takes constant, dedicated effort to maintain a truly progressive civilization. An attitude that regards economics as a "zero-sum" game is incapable of doing this. Therefore, for this reason modern liberalism is ultimately a corrupting and entropy generating force, which acts to destroy the warp and woof of a truly progressive culture and civilization.
This is one reason that liberalism generally opposes the space program. The implicit futuristic optimism of exploration and expansion into space destroys the paradigm of victimization and dependency that is the inevitable product of liberalism.
