Living In Outer Space or On A Meteor -- Act One Nor Won

 

            Commander Sanerist from the Tauer System was concerned.  His government’s reports did not note any intelligent life on Earth.  His construction crew made it there.  They are now in orbit, planning the construction of living quarters.  That was when they noticed the paved highways, the concrete cities, the planes, the trains, and the ocean going vessels.

            It looked to him like these things have been around for a while.  They were not just a fluke.  This commander will not be some bleeding hearted weakling.  He couldn’t be to get to his position.  But his son is still a child.  His son just got a pet.  He thinks he is a pet. That may be why he is dedicated to the one he got.  He feeds and waters it every day.  He cleans it.  He takes it out so the pet can play.  He truly wants that pet happy.

            This made the commander realize more and more, “Sure, it is just an animal.  Sure, it is not the same as me or my son.  But it is a living thing.  It has feelings.  It has life.

            “And so do these things around this blue, cloudy planet.  Hell!  They even have fire and use that fire to take them out to their moon.  They even looked at the next planet over.  They can’t be totally brainless.  They must have some feelings.”

            The commander is not a wuss, but he just doesn’t feel right to kill a whole species, just because he can.  They don’t need to go there.  It’s not like they need Earth to survive.  Spend some extra time.  Put forth some extra effort.  It wouldn’t take much more to find a place they can build some vacation houses at where they won’t be killing off things.

            He’s doing more explorations.  He’s writing up his findings, his observations.  A couple of solar systems away is another planet with oxygen and free water.  It just has one celled organisms.  Why not build there?  So now the commander is waiting to hear back from the counsel.  His son finally taught Edmond to …………………………………………………………..

 

 

 

 

                                                Suited For Asteroid Mining

 

            I fly, regularly, waking period to waking period, among this Season Sustaining Asteroid Patch.

            I wear a suit.  If I have any coworkers, it is agreed that they wear a suit too.  If I have any passengers, they too must wear one of these suits.  It is the law.  Sure, the company that makes these suits reaps good profits off of this legality, it is still one of the few good laws our nation has enacted recently.

            Nation, why do we call ourselves a nation?  Yes, we are the Russian American United Republic.  Sure, among other nations there are Mexico, Canada and England.  There are other United Republics.  Look at the French, German and Austrian Association.  But as for a nation, and once again, we are not the only one out there with inter worldly states, such as our states on Earth’s Moon, our farm properties on Mars, and, of course, this patch of Asteroids which we have been refining for, what is it, forty years now.

            Some of my friends, yes, I do have friends, although few and far between, some of my friends enjoy discovered, saved from destruction, pieced together histories of “our Nation.”  I understand that they find them interesting.  I find them interesting too.  It appears, in those few segments that have not been totally destroyed, that America used to be a Country on its own.  And this Country, shall we say, did not get along with Russia.  Shall we say that they distrusted each other?  Shall we say that they sent their citizens to kill each other?  Shall we say that they went through a period (of Human Generations) called ‘The Cold War.?’

            But this America almost declared Atomic War on Russia because some Russian leaning refuge seekers overthrew the mobsters that owned the Caribbean Whore House now known as Cuba. 

            Another big But is that that Russia enwalled and enslaved half of the capital city of Germany, in a supposed, or at least vocally supposed action to free the German Citizens from Nazi rule.  It makes me wonder why this imprisonment of common German citizens lasted almost seventy years after that Adolf Hitler had died, seventy years after Victory over Europe Day, seventy years after a superficially claimed freeing of the entire world from Right Wing Bigoted Fascist rule.  Especially considering the details that that Russia, that Soviet Union, vocally, superficially proclaimed that its founding principles are the principals of Friedrich Engles and Karl Marx.

            Its guiding governing philosophy was the rule of the masses (not, as it really was, the ruling over the masses).

            The Soviet Union, the socialists, the communists (Social as in the encouragement of society.  Commune as in the strengthening of a multi-dimensional Community) were ‘The Left.’

            The Nazis, the Swasticklers, the Mussoleanings.  Blame those Jews for your physically unsafe work conditions.  Blame the Blacks because you have to work for slave wages.  Blame the Gays because you are not treated like the guy with the whip forcing forward his mule train.  They were ‘The Right.’

            But after further digging, after further piecing, after further thought, we found out that this America was once owned by England.  The English killed off various religious groups and that prompted the building of religious slave colonies across those crashing waves.  Roanoke and Plymouth Rock were not exactly places that the inbred upper crust, those who lived in the Houses of Lords, wanted to relocate.  And it sure was a party living there.  A tea party.

            After those Oneth Byes and Twoeth Byes (As in ‘One if by land and Two if by Sea and Three on the opposite shore I’ll be) Americans sure lived up to their religious zeal.  They zealed the fate (not faith) of the American Indians.  Hey, they built those indigenous citizens of that country a beautiful Trail of Tears.  Along the way they treated them like the magnificent American Buffalo.  A Hell of a lot of lives shuffled off.

            And if it wasn’t enough waging the conflict against the people who originally settled this land, this land was your land, it is now my land, they had to enslave Chinese and Africans to work on plantations and build railroads.

            Americans sure are civil.  There was the Civil War.  The major accomplishment of that war was the changing of the term ‘Slavery’ to ‘Separate but Equal.’  Again, that was an extremely big But.
