Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

That activity is not without risks as well, so it is fair to say that you just can't win.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons has gone too far! It was supposed to remain a strictly fictional affair, but then some roleplayers with a degree in advanced biotechnology started to splice genes.

Most of the beaches I’ve been to these last months were relatively quiet. Hope you find your ideal beach time.

Surprisingly enough the water is pretty clean, last sunday we saw a pod of dolphins, and whales have been sited. .3 km off the beach.

It’s possible. It’s just that after 10 years of hearing them every summer, it’s kind of eerie not hearing them this year.

I believe he is more worried about a space force, and not scientific advancement in the form of landing people on Mars.

I'm sure I've got some change to help fund his fare there.

Haven't figured out how to get him back, though... Still he can receive satellite signals there. He'll be fine.
