I never said monsters, but they are more of a problem currently than the other party. The policies are not favoriting the people of this country, they're soft on crime, and currently Washington D.C. politicians are at their most untrusted point in the 30 years I've been paying attention to politics.
I don't see us getting back to the moon. The expense of getting there, the problems with todays technology, and the politics behind getting there make it impossible to see us making a successful return to the moon. Maybe a few years down the road, but if we had to go today it wouldn't happen.
