no one is 'inconvenienced'; not what i was talking about at all.
my mommy taught me to leave a place as i found it; it's about respect, i
suppose.

the moon and everything else out there is part of 'nature'. a remote,
inpopulated part, sure. but does the fact that no one owns it; no one lives
there, and no one is 'inconvenienced' by our junk mean it's 'right' for us to
leave it there? it's not enough we' ugly-up the earth; let's ugly-up the moon
too. after all, who cares?

sorry, but that strikes me as typical earthling arrogance : )
