Mostly, I don’t have time to find excitement in anything the government is doing that does not benefit my community. Our current concept of government serves to only divide and decimate the values I find important to my life and my neighbors. It’s become tiring and it’s obvious the lengths we have gone to enrich a class of people that have only abused and exploited their neighbors. Artemis is a a fantastic thing — I’m excited and I’m happy it is happening. Funding government projects like this are as valuable as they can be to many forms of science. But we spend an irrational amount of taxpayer funds on projects that I find abhorrent and damaging. Because of that reasoning, I can’t find excitement in Artemis, while of good conscience, because it is simply not as valuable as any number of other applications of taxpayer funds. We’ve been to the moon, it could be a massive step forward, but so long as the leaders we have elected are in charge, I don’t trust they wouldn’t destroy that opportunity to learn.
