This blog is a plea for common sense in public policy. Our leaders don't seem to have any. They just make daft rules for us to follow. We need to assert our right to use our own good sense instead of ticking boxes which can only say 'yes' or 'no'.

Who cares if there was life on Mars millions of years ago?
If anybody ever asked me if I wanted any part of our taxes to be spent on finding out whether there was life on Mars millions of years ago I'd say "NO" and I rather imagine half of us at least (the female bit) would do the same. But nobody ever asks, they just go ahead and do it. I wish those billions could be spent on developing renewable sources of energy and preserving our own lovely planet instead.

It's only human to want to expand our collective knowledge.
ReplyDeleteIf nobody asked these sorts of questions we'd still be cavemen.
Lot's of money is already spent on developing renewables. Would throwing more money at the problem help? Not necessarily.
