Why on Earth [haw, haw, haw!] would any alien want anything to do with
the likes of us. We pose no danger as most of what passes for scientists
here are in full worship of Einstein and therefore passionately believe
without question or comment that everything he ever said or wrote is
gospel. These folks actively seek out non belilevers in order to can them
from their jobs and to ruin their careers. As such, Earthmen pose no danger
to whichever species of aliens are around as humanity will never even be
allowed to publicly seriousely think about star travel as long as these
dogmatic obstructionists hold the planet's scientific establishment in total
thrall to this idol. This, of course, will suit other religions that hold
that we are the only sentient 'children of god' in the 'universe of god's
creation'.......oh!....I mean intelligent design!
We are really stupid. The philosopher who said that man is a creature
capable of reason was French, I believe. Reason is a skill we practice more
in the breach than in the observance. Some of us are bread on the window to
be taken at any time and obviousely have no judgement on how to either save
or forward ourselves. Some willfully encourage their own destruction.
Britain and all of Europe including Ireland is about to be turned into an
icebox like northern Siberia within 10 years if the weathermen are right
about the gulf current oscillation shutting down due to an influx of
meltwater from the northern polar regions and Greenland glaciers.
The only energy that will save even just save them from freezing now in
their homes is nuclear. The Irish who will be the very FIRST victims of
this calamity of bibical proportions are officially on record as opposing
nuclear power, any nuclear power. The increased use of chemical fuels in
Europe will only increase the greenhouse gas load that caused them the
problem in the first place and deepen the problem into permanence.
Given man's conflicted nature and unwillingness to find unity, it is
reasonable to suppose the anti-nuke greens will happily litigate their whole
population, themselves included, into the vast graveyard that Europe will
become.....including the lawyers that made the puny fists of these luddites
effective legal [lethal] weapons. Only the French will survive, and maybe
not even them for long unless they blow up the Channel Tunnel and
put troops on borders with green Holland and greener Germany. The French
had the foresight to build nuclear power to 70 percent of their base needs.
The French were capable of reason.......and USED their reason!
If there are any 'aliens' out there, they must indeed be laughing at us.
In any case they would likely not be 'interglactic[sic] visitors', but rather
would be from the local stellar neighborhood. There would be no real
reason for intergalactic peoples to visit a system outside the galactic belt
of easy availability of transuranic elements. And the supply line to support
any planetary colonization and reformation project would be impossibly long
and unsupportable if any locals objected. Local stellar neighborhood peoples
WOULD object to such an invasion of their sphere of influence and/or
usurpation of resources that for whatever reason they consider theirs.
The foolish American president could impotently try, if he liked (for a
photo op), to use the air farce stategic air command on an alien nation that
could simply divert the orbit of a in-system small asteroid to effect its'
'final solution to the human problem'. The locals have left us alone so far.
As far as humans fighting them, the Soviets have already given them enough
provocation over the last few decades besides actually getting in a lucky
shot with a missile over Kapustin Yar in 1948. And bringing one of the cigar
shape variety down!
Dumb American politicians don't have to keep Roswell secret!
The Russians KNOW the truth!
But as long as we stay preachin' ourselves to death, we pose no threat or
competition for this system's resources........which we SHOULD consider ours
and we SHOULD explore and mine. We may be wanting to build some labs that
we should locate on a remote asteroid just in case we invent something
potentially useful but dangerous if mishandled, like a stranglet or a black
hole......minimize and isolate the damage.
