your future letters and comments.

Hello,
I have long feared that the threat from space isn't an armada of economic
conquerors, but from aliens who hold deep rooted religious passion and need
to share it with everyone. Or kill them.
Comments?

Hello,
There are interesting voices here. Your letters create an amusing
picture of a movie pie fight, with words and reasoning crustily defending or
creamily attacking each others position.

Hi,
Never saw the Simpsons episode referenced here. I bet I'd enjoy it and
laugh for more then a day.
Was this episode a Treehouse of Terror Halloween special?
I did catch the excellent DUCK AMOK reference, a few days ago, from the
person describing their postage hijinks.
Gay Marriage! Haven't we done enough to those people already! Asked a New

The gay marriage issue is, to me, somewhat akin to trying to argue about
race. Race does not exist, sexuality is fluid, and, as far as I can tell,
preordained.

Blow up or ignite Jupiter, creating a miniature sun, the moons become new
planets.
Ever since reading this idea in A.C.Clark's 2010, I have wondered if this
was possible. Could gas giants be ignited? If it were possible, would the
moons become new planets?
Any weird thoughts about how

Hi Warren and Steve,
I read and enjoyed the 2001 books and tried to fully credit Clark for the
