Scientist: OK, we have the physics worked out and the engineering to put a man on the moon. Shall we get started?
Political Operative: Wait a minute, I've been watching the moon for the past month and it disappeared.
Scientist: No, no it didn't disappear, the moon merely moved into the earth's shadow, thus it waxes and wanes from your perspective on Earth.
Political Operative: Woah, see, you're using all this fancy scientific jargon to fund sending men to something that everyone can plainly see disappears each month.
Scientist: It doesn't disappear, it's that you can't see it, because there's no light reflecting off of it.
Political Operative: No light reflecting off of it? Of course not! Because it's not there anymore. If it was there, light would reflect off of it, it's just common sense. That's the problem with you scientists, you can't use your common sense. Everyone knows the moon magically disappears each month, only to reappear again. Sending people there would send them to their horrible, cold space deaths. You just want to waste billions of tax payer money on your grab to control us with your social Darwinian engineering project to send us to this "moon". You sciientists are so transparent in your little agenda.
Scientist: *blinks* What are you, some kind of moron?
Political Operative: A-ha, your true colors come out. You're an elitist. It's obvious from your attitude in speaking to me.
Scientist: Fine, fuck you. We won't go to the moon.
Political Operative: Yes, exactly, besides I'd like to funnel all this money from your imaginary moon landing project into something more concrete, like my share of controlling the market on books about how the moon disappears from the sky every month.
- Yeah nice analogy, great dialog. When is your tea party with Mr. Bear and Smitty the Kitty?mathinc
