I do not have much time to debate, a plane just crashed next to the Laughlin
Marina and the whole area is up in flames. My friends, who live at the
marina and the caretaker, called me over an hour ago and told me that my
enclosed car hauler is in danger of burning up since I store it there. It
is full of expensive expedition gear so I tried to drive down there only to
be turned away since the entire area is being evacuated. There are over 30
fire trucks on the scene when I left a few minutes ago and the fire is still
nowhere under control. All the roads are blocked so I will not be able to
evaluate the damage until tomorrow if they get the fire put out.
One another note, I just assume not pay for all the free handouts to people
who do not need them and are able to work. I still believe that hard work,
equal opportunity and private entrepreneurship will overcome poverty, not
wasteful government spending.
You were correct in your first statement that the List is no place for
politics.
Now back to more pressing concerns,
Adam

Adam, somebody has to pay the $350 billion we've pissed away on the new F35
fighter jet, you know, the one that doesn't work but has made plenty of
congressmen and their contractors very rich. Someone has to pay for out
endless overseas war adventures, may as well be you.

You are not even free to collect more than 10 lbs of meteorites on public
land anymore. Public roads (BLM Controlled) are being closed to the
public at an alarming rate. What good is public land if you are not even
allowed to use it? Crappy healthcare insurance at twice the cost is not
my idea of freedom of choice, more like socialism. I was forced to sign
up my wife on a Anthem plan because of the "Affordable Healthcare Act?"
just to have our account hacked three days latter compromising all of our
personal data. All we got was an apology letter from the healthcare
exchange and a "free" service contract for two years to ProtectMyID.com.
Then there is a thing called freedom of speech and privacy, both
consistently disappearing the last few years.
I forgot to mention the ridiculous tax increases which inhibits freedom by
making people work twice as hard for less income.
Freedom isn't for free!
Mike, you are consistently out of touch with reality!

What chaos? I must have missed it. I'm free. I just drove all over the
country with no problems. I was able to eat, drink and be merry. I got on
a plane and flew to China.
Name one freedom that has been removed from you.
The statement Adam, belongs on some Cliven Bundy conspiracy website, not
the meteorite list.

You are correct. The U.S. has been in complete chaos since 2008 and now
the rest of the world is soon to follow! It is time to focus on what is
really important, freedom!

Hello Listers
I think we need to work on the human race before we worry about
asteroids

A crowdfunding campaign is trying to save us from life-threatening
asteroids
If a huge asteroid slammed into the Earth with crushing force tomorrow,
it could swiftly bring an end to all humankind.
Luckily, that's not going to happen – our asteroid analysis and
predictive techniques are advanced enough to tell when a devastating
impact might happen in the near future. But that's not to say an
asteroid like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65m years couldn’t
come hurtling towards us during our life times.
These super-impacts happen extremely rarely, so generally everyone's
fairly chilled out about it. The smaller ones, on the other hand, are
much more frequent – asteroids with diameters of 20m or over come
within close vicinity of the Earth once every 25 years , yet we have
failed to invest in the infrastructure required to spot them before they
arrive.
Recognising this dearth of ways to protect ourselves from asteroid
attacks, researchers at Iowa State University’s Asteroid Deflection
Research Center have launched a crowd-sourcing campaign to raise funds
for a new kind of defence system.
Called the Emergency Asteroid Defence Project (EADP), the hope is to
build a machine capable of identifying and deflecting incoming objects
at very short notice.
The Hypervelocity Asteroid Intercept Vehicle (HAIV) would be made of two
parts, working together to kick the asteroid in the opposite direction
to Earth and then obliterate it into lots of harmless pieces in space.
But in order to get the project under way, the researchers must raise
$200,000 (£127,000) through their campaign on Indiegogo. This will go
towards designing the blueprints for the vehicle and establishing how it
will be built. As an incentive, funders are being offered gifts such as
astronaut ice cream and a private dinner with the head of the team.
