Please vote against the space station on the moon. The moon shouldn't be tainted with human evil. It should remain lifeless.

Why?

I would have to ask the same question as Jagiellonia, why? Why do you assume that human colonization of the moon equals the spread of evil? and if it does, how can you say that it is evil. Last time I checked there wasn't any contact with other life aside from human life. So there isn't any yardstick to use to say that humans are necessarily evil, for all we know, we might be one of the nicer species of critter in the universe.

Also, how do you mean "contaminated" there isn't anything on the moon to contaminate. Unless your going to contend that there is some kind of philosophical purity in the moons desolation (which may have some truth to it) then we can't contaminate anything, its only an extension of humanity.

Accualy, there are several nations who have claimed a portoin of the moon already, so a colony up there is simply one of many. . . The moon is about as lifeless as mars is right now, albeit the martian colonies have a much greater sence of cohesion.
