HERO WALKS OUT OF NASA

Engineer April Evans left NASA when the agency refused to address her concerns—and those of a growing number of scientists—about its misguided plan to irradiate squirrel monkeys in the unlikely thought that this will yield information for human space travelers. You can sign and write your own thoughts for an email to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden Jr. This outreach is organized by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine: http://pcrm.org/newsletter/aug10/nasa.html

Following is my precede to the letter

We of the human species are going through an evolution in thought -- beginning to realize we are OF the earth, not just ON the earth. We are AMONG the other inhabitants of the earth. Our descendants eventually will look with astonishment at how we killed, tortured, imprisoned and used our fellow species in ways that to an enlightened mind will look like insanity.

Please be part of the enlightenment to come. Please help by your example in taking the first step out of now-accepted behavior that already belongs to the past.
