Lately I’ve been seeing Venus in the southeast when I get up in the mornings and it always reminds me that the first time Galileo looked at it through his telescope he saw that Venus, like the Moon, goes through phases. That meant the Earth must orbit the Sun rather than the other way around. The politicians refused to look and they hated him for challenging their comfortable view of the universe.
They’re still refusing to look.
For others, though, it is possible to change the way we see our world just by looking up.
I have given up on politicians. It seems like I vote for the lesser of to evils now.
I’d like to see them go to space !!!

Great quote! I think a lot of people would like to grab the current crop of politicians by the neck and shake them.
