What Happened to Our Dreams?

"Ask not what your country can do for you;

 ask what you can do for your country."

- John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961

 “We pledge our best efforts to help 

the poor of the world help themselves, 

for whatever period is required,

not because the communists 

may be doing it,

not because we seek 

their votes,

 but 

because it is right.” 

When the first call for Peace Corps volunteers was put out, thousands answered.  

750 were chosen to help

 the poor of the world.

Today’s kids are three times more likely to aspire toward a career as a YouTuber rather than an astronaut, according to a new study.

To join in a venture which contributes to a noble cause that enriches their whole country.

 NASA confirmed that on July 25, Asteroid 2019 OK passed about 73,000 kilometers from Earth, 

roughly one-fifth the distance to the moon.

 This asteroid wasn’t one that scientists had been tracking, 

and it had seemingly appeared from “out of nowhere.”

 Astronomers have a nickname for the kind of space rock that just came so close to Earth:

 “City-killer asteroids.”

 If the asteroid had struck Earth, most of it would have probably reached the ground, resulting in devastating damage.

 When The End comes 

(however it does)  

wouldn't it be nice to be in the midst of Fighting the Good Fight rather than grasping for cyber-attention?

Is 

"LOOK AT ME"

Attention Seeking 

the defining Need of our times?
