Greetings Fellow Martians!!
First, I must apologise for not including the Martian date/time in my
previous post on the untimely death of David Carradine.
I think you can understand the situation.
****
Life on Mars... or anywhere else we settle (Venus or Mercury??)
will only be as good as we make it.
Will we have a permissive society or a restrictive society??
There is a Latin phrase "Parens Patriae"
("parent of the nation" or "the state is the parent").
"Parens Patriae" is normally found in tyrannies.
When the state becomes "the parent",
parents become "unpaid state child caretakers".
All parents will lose their parental rights.
We want to avoid this situation on Mars.
And when I want to learn "The Martian Language"
or "The Language of Mars"
my search engine finds a Chinese-English Pidgin Slanguage.
"Martian" started in The Republic of China
(Taiwan and surrounding Islands) then moved to the
communist mainland.
"Martian" is spoken excusively by the youth.
The way things are going Red China
might conquer The Red Planet first.
Lets not let that happen.
Thank you and all of our best to Marvin and K-9!!
