I am sending this to the list....it is part of what
I sent to Rosie after reading this post. I am by far not the smartest person on
this list, nor do I have all the answers...I do know that there is NOT a single
individual on this list that can claim either of those titles.
I have always thought that anyone could express an
opinion/idea to this list and it could/would be acceptable. I do not have any
idea what was sent to Rosie that made her run away with such force, but I wonder
if it was really necessary to say.
Here is part of what I told her. I hope that
everyone on this list will take the time to read it. It probably isn't that
profound, but it is my thoughts on the matter.
>>Rosie,
I for one will not accept your bowing out. Do not
let those intellectual mental midgets push you out! Your opinion is guaranteed
by the constitution of the USA and you have the same right to give your
opinion...Right or Wrong.
TWA 800 was a tragedy...that much is indisputable.
Our Navy/government has made grave errors in the past and have shot down
civilian targets by mistake in the Persian Gulf so it is not like it could never
happen. And with so many 747 type aircraft flying for over 30 years I think it
is also possible that this electrical problem would have cause a major problem
already. Our government keeps us in the dark about alot of
issues....maybe for our own good. Too many of us want to know the truth and
maybe sometimes the truth is so much simpler than any of us would be willing to
believe that it would only make things worse if we knew. Other truths maybe be
so much darker than any of us would care to hear or even need to
hear.
Imagine for a moment if you will....Roswell DID
happen and we are not alone...what would happen to organized religion? The Pope
would be out of a job, ALL religions would be nothing more than fables, billions
of people all over the world would lose the faith that gives them the only hope
they have sometimes in a otherwise hopeless world. Now that is not to say that
even with the presence of other more/less intelligent life forms in the universe
that there is not still a "God" that created it all. Hell if I were omnipotent
with the power of God I know I would surely create many types of life in many
places....beings and being alive is much too special to give to only one smelly
ape-like creation on one world. To guarantee success of any type of creation one
would have to create many forms, for surely many would doom themselves to
extinction.
Yet should Roswell or any other encounters be true
all governments would have to be very careful with that knowledge. Many people
fear that our/their government can not guarantee their safety now, how would it
be if they knew that beings existed that had knowledge and technology far beyond
our own comprehension? Again mass panic would ensue, others would be desperate
to exploit that technology to enslave the masses and profit for
themselves.
I am not making a case for ET's, or conspiracies, the existence or
non-existence of a God or proving or disproving evolution. I am saying that NO
ONE person can HONESTLY say they have all the correct answers.
My point to all this is that some people are never
willing to accept any ideas, opinions, or concepts beyond their own. If everyone
with differing views hid their heads in the sand when they were shouted down
there would be no freedom, no evolution, no advancement of
anything.
Cherish your freedom, shout back when necessary,
stand your ground, you are a human, and an American and by those measurements
you have a right to any opinion you like and as long as our flag flies over this
land you have a right to speak your mind. Keep in mind all those many that gave
their lives to preserve that right, you owe it to them to practice what they
died for.
Those that shout back are entitled to do so, they
are not however allowed to quiet those that differ from their narrow view of the
world, sometimes the smartest among us are the least knowledgeable...Flatlanders
is what I call them. They live in their own little worlds, a nice and tidy, made
to order so that they can cope with their own insecurities.
I ask that you reconsider your silence, Rosie....I
for one would be less knowledgeable without your opinion.<<
Maybe some on this list will get something out of this. I do not know who
killed JFK, whether ET exists, or if we are the product of creation or
evolution. I do know that anything is possible and would like everyone to
remember that no matter how indisputable some facts have been over the eons,
there have been some facts that turned out to be not so factual after all.
Nothing is for sure, and it is not right for anyone to feel that they can
belittle another human being because their beliefs are not yours.
Lets stick to meteorites, there is always alot about them that none of us
are for sure about, and that means we all have alot we can learn.
Thanks for listening.
