Blockhead Buzz

did you know that the first food & drink ever consumed on the moon was the “communal wafer” & the prospective wine that goes with it? did you know that buzz aldrin actually asked NASA control if he could have a moment’s silence in order to take his prepared “communion wafer & wine” before neil armstrong made his first step out onto the surface of the moon? please, take a moment, all rational individuals in the room, to have a seat--- for the stupidity may overwhelm even the strongest amongst us, sending us hurling into the walls, head first. let us offer up that this was not “one small step for man & one giant leap for mankind,” but rather one small step for one man in a sequence of narrow-minded itty-bitty steps, which offered nothing but the assurance to him that he was closer to the fictional creation conjured up by delusional men in a desert thousands of years ago with nothing but time on their hands and the sheer cockiness to assert a way of life for the rest of humanity on the basis of one poorly-written book which was edited & re-edited a million times over to suit whatever maniac acted as if this fictional character was behind themselves 100% at any given time in history. had buzz been a non-believer in anything but the progress of humanity & the amazing possibilities that came with such positive hopes for our own betterment in the NOW--- without tying all of his dreams to ulterior motive through obligation to a book & a cult of murderous, self-righteous, psychotics, then perhaps our first steps might not have been tainted by the same disease that presently continues to plague our species & stand in the way of any real future which we may have.
