Australia in Space

"Academics" in Queensland are up in arms about the exploration of space for fear that we might turn the Moon and Mars into extraterrestrial versions of Australia.

Taking barren, lifeless balls of dust and converting them into prosperous, free, democratic friendly, hard-working Anglophone nations that swear fealty to Her Britannic Majesty and boast beautiful beaches, loads of beef and lamb, superb seafood, barbecues, scuba diving, sailing, horseback riding, decent beer and Vegemite? A staunch ally through a century of war and conflict? The sort of place that my wife keeps asking me if we should emigrate to?

When do we start?

Mars always struck me as being Austrialian.


And Vice-versa.

Leftist self-proclaimed "intellectuals" hate humans. Their ideal world is one devoid of technology, devoid of intelligent life. Devoid of intellect.

They hate themselves, they hate modern civilization, they hate Western civilization, they hate technology, they hate democracy, they hate science, they hate reason, and they hate the human species.

It would be a mercy to drown them, perhaps as part of the ceremony of awarding a doctoral degree.
