...supposed to wave the flag and rally behind our President so that he can finish the job he had no business starting-launching some new wars against other countries we think threaten our God-given right to rule the planet and bleed it dry, all while turning the U.S. into a cross between a theocracy and an oligarchy?

Russia, Europe, Japan, China and Brazil should join together to make sure that this irresponsible President does not get away with ruining our planet any more than he and his Administration already have.

...fact, lots of astrophysicists think the anthropic issue, rather than signaling a problem with modern science, points toward a deeper understanding of the universe. Rees likes to use our solar system as an analogy. Says Rees: "If Earth were the only planet in the universe, you'd be astonished that we just happened to be exactly the right distance from the sun to be habitable."
