Well, now we know that Star Trek is all an alternate future. It's starting to look more like 2001: A Space Odyssey where all the space traffic has corporate logos. Obviously nobody can accurately portray the future. I don't think that we really have much of a future in space unless we turn away from our entitlement state. My thoughts are that if Revelation is right, the future of humanity is limited because it will destroy itself.

Karl Rove acknowledges that he was wrong about Dick Cheney and I like this conclusion:

Mr. Bush heard me out but with a twist: I explained my objections with Mr. Cheney sitting, mute and expressionless, next to the governor. The next day, Mr. Bush called to say I was right. There would be real political problems if he chose Mr. Cheney. So solve them, he said. Politics was my responsibility. His job was different: to select his best partner in the White House and a person the country would have confidence in if something terrible happened to him. The country was better served by Mr. Bush's decision than by my advice. There's a lesson there for Mr. Romney. Choose the best person for the job. Leave the politics to the staff.

The best advice I've heard so far in this discussion.

Michelle is right Obama is not a "nice guy." He's a liar, a cheat, and a corrupt radical. He's charming and of late, "cool." But he's basically anti-freedom, anti-democratic and two-faced. The more I've seen of him, the more dangerous and loathsome he is to me because of the the deceptive persona he has adopted. I think he's a psychopath.

Aren't these the same ones who complain that conservatives are uncivil and violent?
