I really don't think a few cherrybombs by IRA wannabes counts on the same scale as the Madrid train bombings and the London Tube bombings...

If we could harness the profit motive for Space exploration, it could usher in a whole new era in the space age, and yield huge advancements in technology. We should remember that the profit motive was what motivated many great explorers like Christopher Columbus and Vasco de Gama. They weren't looking for "The New World", they were looking for a sea route to the East, so that they could make their fortunes trading spices.
The most obvious business model for space companies would be tourism. Who wouldn't want to stay in a space hotel or visit the moon themselves? This is just one way of commercializing space, but there are many more out there, just waiting to be exploited by some bold entrepreneur.
Its forward looking companies like Virgin Galactic that will take us to the next level in space, not tired government agencies like the ESA and NASA.

Now, how were they able to acquire said technology? They had a religion and a set of values that fostered a culture of freedom and ideas. And it is from those ideas that advancement, progress, and technology sprung. Sure, it came with organized violence as a side-effect, but the world is undoubtedly a better place today because of it.

I am NOT obsessed with myself. I haven't said a word about myself. We're talking about Champagne here.
You can't legitimately call for someone to hang if you can't provide a reason for it thats more compelling than that person's defences. All I see here is:
1: HES A SCUMBAG! or
2: Canadianviking is Champagne! (which I'm not btw)
Thats simply not enough reason. Come on, you can come up with something better than that.

In conclusion: Get off your moral high horse. Champagne got what was coming to him, his debt to society is paid. Now leave him alone.
