Mad humans are more destructive than mere dust storms. Humans are clever enough
to place themselves in certain places before blowing themselves up to maximize
damage, but apparently not clever enough not to blow themselves up in the first
place. The Id that's in charge is dumber than the mind that carries it out.

Lets just say that colonizing Mars is cheap compared to fixing Iraq and the
rest of the middle east. Some people say going to Mars is a waste of money, but
look at the waste of money in trying to fix Iraq. Should we pull out of Iraq
immediately? No, but I blame them for diverting resources from more noble
efforts such as colonizing Mars. I'm tired of wasting money and lives to
prevent people from blowing up their own refineries. One good motivation to go
into space is to get away from these idiots.
