Blogging is not my obligation
I don't want to blog everyday...I want to blog only when I feel I have something to share.
Actually I have hell loads of thing to share...but I feel lazy. Why should I share?
Was watching the Legacy of War in CNN last night...Japanese soldiers were telling the story of murder and rape of Chinese women- pathetic. WAR? What it gives to people other than stink dead bodies? and still we are going for war- killing more people...are we civilized enough? Should we call the US a civilized country? Bush again wants one more War against Iran. He wants more dead bodies...just wondering does he drink blood of humans?
News- " US space agency sends another probe to explore the Red Planet" . People are dying everyday in Africa and NASA is spending billions to send spacecraft to MARS...What actually they want to achieve? Are they planning to build houses in MARS? What's the point of spending so much of money ! Please stop this useless missions and save those dying kids in Africa. Please.

Dear Naguib,
Hi. I don't think the idea of NASA sending spaceship to undercover the mystery of the Red Planet is a bad idea. It's good for science. Think of the knowledge of what the world may find uncovered from this exploration. I am also a human right activitist:) and would like to see a better world especially in the Sahara Desert. Perhaps, there should be a balance between social responsibility and science discovery. Whadda you think?
How many billions NASA has spent so far for space exploration and how much benefits it brought to our world?
In case of balance b/w social responsibilty and science discovery- I would rather vote for a more advanced research in HIV/AIDS, growing plants without using pesticides, better fuel management that causes less air pollution than exploring Mars.
Science was my passion once upon a time- But what i am trying to say here is- use it wisely.
I'll put it the other way. As far to my knowledge, US is championing almost all researches in the world, with other developed countries.They are leader in the HIV/AIDS research through government funding or private sector (e.g Pfizer and Eli Lilly). Though the cost of HIV/AIDS medicines were tantamount to poor countries, I believe, developing countries are now gearing towards developing similar generic medicines which are much cheaper. I think India is one of it.
Perhaps, we should look the other way around. I don't think these poor countries are poor. As I know, Africa is so rich with natural resources. But where did all the money went to? To corrupt leaders and selfish rulers. The nearest example I can take is Indonesia. A country wow, so rich with natural resources that other countries are admiring so jelously. They are one of the largest oil exporters in the world. But why didn't they make up one of the richest countries in the world? Why the people are still poor? Why the oil diggers are still Exxon and Mobil?
