1. Kate,
   Yes, the Cassini pictures are breathtaking.
   On a related topic, while reading the current issue of Scientific American (which covered topics such as genetic engineering, magnetic forces is nanotechnology, advanced theoretical mathematics and topology, and thinking of the marvel that is the Cassini probe), I could not help but ask where else but in the free world, where both personal liberty is maintained and economic freedom is pursued through capitalist and democratic means, could such advancements have taken place?
   I think this meme bears repeating again and again. There is real, unique, and important value to Western culture and society, to which the “other” cultures simply do not contribute.
   This is not racist. This is truth the about the exceptionalism of America and the free West.
