Good article... I joked with my wife... NASA does all this research on people and the mental hardships faced with deep space travel. I say problem solved, send Latin American Catholics. Tough as nails they are... We have grown weak and soulless.
I say problem solved, send Latin American Catholics. Tough as nails they are
So true. I have lived in Latin America for a while. They have a moral center that wipes the board with anything we have. I am a fairly religious person by CA standards but these miners put me to shame. God bless them.
Amen. There is so much to love about this story and all of it had to work together to achieve this miraculous outcome. Each of the significant parts of this were guided by the hand of God, as a conductor of a fabulous orchestra:
* the religious faith of the Chilean miners to remain sane and civil to each other;
* the visibly present and obviously competent President of Chile (contrast him with 0); and
* the ingenuity and exceptionalism of U.S. technology produced by capitalism.
Each one of these elements is mostly being ignored by the press, because it refutes every single tenet of their liberal nanny-state big government worldview and they don't want the people to know this truth.
