(Oct. 9) -- Clinton Cragg is a NASA engineer on a troubleshooting safety team set up in the wake of the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. He had spent much of his professional life in the Navy, where he served as a submarine captain, accustomed to living in confined space.

So when the Chilean rescue authorities settled on a plan for reaching the 33 miners trapped 2,400 feet below a desolate desert, but needed a contraption to bring them to the surface, Cragg would become the perfect man to pitch in.

It had to be the smallest possible vehicle for the job, a capsule that would fit into a hole the size of a bicycle tire, with no wasted space for luxury, no elbow room for comfort.

You are the one concerned with your tax dollar going to save lives. Guess you would rather have that dollar to buy popcorn while you watch those miners die.

I think the ones that should be killed are those that believe that Islam is the one true religion and that all infidels should be exterminated.

Along with the fanatics that believe an insult to the prophet should be punishable by death, or those that murder their family members for leaving Islam.

They are the ones that are a danger to us.

There you are approaching the one billion mark I believe.

You want to save those people so they can continue to murder innocents?

Why am I not surprised that you too have no concern for innocent lives.

MP, how many times must I say that was said tongue in cheek. Certainly there are not one billion people that fall into those categories. Only a fool would take that statement seriously.

Surely you can appreciate stretching the truth on this forum, hell you chose the tag 'Michael Palin' whose name belongs to a real man.

That is what I call really stretching the truth.

The philosophy of Objectivism does not recognize altruism as a virtue

Hot Rod May 12th, 2008 8:28 AM

TJ, I closed the door after I found what was right for me.

Should I give up Reason in my life because others do?

Should I give up Self-Esteem in my life because others do?

Should I give up Honesty in my life because others do?

Should I give up Productiveness in my life because others do?

Why should I give up my values and virtues for those I know to be wrong.

Why should I embrace altruism when I believe in rational self-interest?
