ok well i really dont no what like an ethical issuse is so it would really help if u give me an ex. on an ethical issuse related to space travel and like what a ethical issue is???

I don't really see how there is an ethical arguement on space travel. Other than time, money and resources that are spent on it that could be otherwise used for more humanitarin efforts.

Still, (I'll have to look it up) there was a gentleman who worked for NASA, that wrote a letter to a nun working in a starving nation… it was a reply to a letter she worte him, asking how he could support funding for a space program when that money could be spent to feed the hungry people of the world instead. Wouldn't earhtly problems being sovled take priority over the "hobby" of space travel?

Well…

(hang on a few minutes, I'll dig up the letter!)

Here you go!

You only have to read up until he explains the results of the "microscope" to understand that, "learning, understanding and knowledge" is a more powerful tool in helping earthly problems than merely giving a person food.

"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day."
"Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime."

I suppose an analogous phrase would be,

"Pay the poor a dollar, they can survive another day."

"Pay to solve the problems of poverty, it diminishes exponentially."

What is the best way to pack a suitcase?

   Posted by: admin   in Space Holidays

II've heard of many ways which way takes up the least amount of space? I'll be doing a lot of shopping while on holiday so I want to have space for all of my new purchases as well as the stuff I would bring.

Place all liquid items (eg soap shampoo toothpaste perfume etc) in a zip lock bag roll to get out as much of the air as possible and zip, then stick that bag inside another zip lock bag and get the air out and zip, place this at the bottom of suitcase or in an out side pouch, instead of packing jeans pack pants made out of a light material (they take up less room) instead of a jacket pack 2 light sweaters (if it gets real cold you can layer them), wrap shoes in plastic grocery bags and pack at the bottom of suitcase, lay pants and shorts flat roll shirts and sweaters, tuck under-ware and socks into free spaces, also when packing clothes figure out what you will need the first day/night you are there and try to pack these on top where they are easy to get to. If you are traveling by anything other than car tape/pin a sheet of paper to the inside top of your suitcase with your name address flight number destination whiten on it in dark ink (you may even want to place the sheet of paper in a zip lock baggie before taping to your suitcase) this way if the tag comes off the outside of your suitcase there is still a definite way of identifying it. Don't pack your camera or film in your suitcase the areas where they store luggage is not climate controlled and extreme temps can damage electronic devices and film.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a good time.

I had the base game installed with two other expansions which were nightlife and seasons. so I went and bought the sims 2 happy holidays edition and when I install it it says an internal error has occured!! by the way I have mac and i have already unistalled all of the other expansion and I installed the base game only and it stills does not work and also the memory is fine and it has lots of space!!! please help me find the problem
sorry I made a mistake it isnt the sims 2 happy holidays edition it is the stuff pack..

I found out that if you insert the Happy Holidays disc and then drag the installer to your desktop, then open it, it should work. Mine did. I found it on another forum where some people said it worked.

Walden’s Ridge, TN: narrated by Wanda Hodge

   Posted by: admin   in Space Travel

America’s Most Endangered Mountains - Walden’s Ridge, TN

Pledge to Help End Mountaintop Removal. Visit:
www.iLoveMountains.org

- - - COMMUNITY STORY - - -

When Wanda Hodge talks of Walden’s Ridge, the pride in her voice is unmistakable. She tells of its long and rich history - first home to the Cherokee who hunted and lived in the area and then home to early pioneers who held community gatherings at the nearby Standing Stones. Walden’s Ridge continues to be a gathering space today: bikers come to enjoy the winding roads, kayakers, fishermen and local residents enjoy the streams which still run pristine and clear and hang gliders from around the Southeast travel here to take in the scene from above.

Wanda and her community have good reason to be proud of what this area still is. Twenty years ago, they banded together and successfully fought coal companies who saw a large profit in mining the Sewannee Coal Seam which runs through Walden’s Ridge. This seam is the most toxic acid coal seam in the U.S. and if mined, would release acid mine drainage which turns streams orange and kills all life in the rivers.

For Wanda, it’s simple: “We don’t want our children in east Tennessee to grow up thinking that streams should be orange.’ Wanda tells a story of school children in West Virginia who grew up thinking just that: they drew pictures with orange lines to represent the rivers in their community. “How sad that children have to grow up thinking that streams are not clear running pristine beautiful water. It’s bad enough that it happened there, we don’t want it here.”

Wanda and her community won a “Lands Unsuitable For Mining” (LUMP) designation for the Rock Creek watershed, which is part of Walden’s Ridge, and this has kept the area safe for the past 20 years. But today, the threat has returned and coal companies are working hard to overturn the LUMP designation. If this were overturned the entire area of Walden’s Ridge would be open to heavy mining. Citizens in Walden’s Ridge are once again preparing to fight, hopeful that their numbers and passion can still outweigh today’s coal companies.

Does anyone have information on space travel, the envronment or music from the 1940s??
I need Canadian info but I can have American too, or info from other countries that relates to canada. I'm having a hard time finding stuff so anything is appreciated. Thanks!

WWII is going to have dominated much of the decade, with Canada having been at war since 1939. Space travel in the 1940s was science fiction. Environmentalism is a relatively recent thing, so not likely a major concern in the 40s. Music - think Big Band, Swing, etc. Some of the popular artists of the time would have been Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Vera Lynn, Doris Day, Frank SInatra.

Check out the link below and that may give you some idea of life during the first half of the 40s.

I think you are too closely focused on your subject. You need to widen your scope and you will have more luck.

My humble tribute to my favorite street, in my favorite town: Mountain Ave. in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Music: ‘The Ringing In My Ears’ by Her Space Holiday.

I e-mailed Marc Bianchi to ask for permission to use his song, and he granted it. What a cool world we live in. :)
