Z, I like the big picture stuff. And you're exactly on point; our entire 6 trillion ton planet is not even a grain of sand in our galaxy, let alone the universe.

Admiral, Arby, Carol-CS. Glad you like. What I find amazing is you can zoom in on any part of this and no evidence of 'us' can be seen.

John Galt - Atlas Shrugged

"The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. The only proper functions of government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach and fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law."
