40 years ago this week we set foot on the moon. I would like to take some time to reflect on how hard and complicated a task walking on the moon was.Every step of the process was extremely advanced, building a spaceship, training an astronaut, building spacesuits, etc. The list could go on forever. It is truly amazing what we were able to do 40 years ago. But at the same time I find myself asking If 40 years ago we could launch a spaceship, land and walk on the move, why can't we do things like:
- Have a properly working transit system (CTA you blow)
- Have properly funded and well maintained schools (CPS congratulations on sucking)
- Have a health care system that provides people with health care they need at a price they can afford
- Find a terrorist (Osama) who lives under rocks in the Middle East (Seriously we can't find this fu*king guy)
- Drive on the highway without traffic
- Get a Cubbies World Series
- Have a MOG (half man, half dog: Spaceballs anyone)
The list could on and on. The point is we have done some pretty amazing things in the past 40 years, but some simple necessary tasks have not been solved. I don't like to get political, but I feel that way too much money is being spent on things like sending people to the moon to look for aliens, and not enough money on our basic necessities.
