Lets just 'say' that governments and certain individuals at risk for their jobs for 'non-PC-statements' decide to admit what everyone feels is true. All of a sudden the fact that we are not alone is verified by those who spent billions and decades and lives to keep it secret whilst backengineering technology collected from wrecks. Is it because there are no more marketable or militarily useful products to be gained from isolated classified research without some reciprocal disclosures by those secretly in the know? ...more likely! Or is is because it can no longer be plausibly denied? ...given the propensity of governments to lie and back that up with weapons and repression not bloody likely. Aside from that, say such admissions are made. The fact of the admission would also discredit Einstein and all those who have made a living for decades preaching the veracity of this term droppin and devidin by zero fella. For without Einstein there is no case for the hypotheses that visits to us are not practically possible as no culture would invest astronomical sums of money on trips lasting maybe thousands of years just to find the neighbors and report back....to whom? We have been visited! It is an ordinary mundane event and this is highly significant, as a visitor who comes and goes and makes no attempt to contact us is not a emissary seeking contact but a casual tourist. Look at what WE do when we go on a cruise to a so called 'developing nation' to photograph the 'natives' whilst in a tour group. We go there in a ship (mothership), land in a 'liberty boat' (named after the all the world's navies givin the sailors shore leave, or liberty) to the shore (landing shuttle) where we board busses to performance sites one after another. We do not really interact with the 'natives' on our cruises either. An added salty item is that our world may hold many terrors for them as well. We are a living a world, and our microorganisms may find THEM very tasty. I happen to feel that 'Baldr' is not really all that much advanced over us, just lucky to have some minerals on his world(s) that we do not have, or a more enlightened political system given more to exploration and have been doing it for a longer time. Besides rendering Einstein circumventable and attesting to the veracity of interstellar travel times that practically allow real tourism and trade, the idea of our visitation in such a matter says we are not alone in the universe. Our own Catholic faith persecuted scientists for believing and telling others that the world was not only not flat, but that it was not the center of the universe. How many of the world's nastiest religions hold that we are unique, or 'God's only creation made in his image'? How would this hold up when our visitors decide to actually talk to us common folk. How would church leaders react when the neighbors start to talk to us about THEIR religion. Rest assured that they have one! Robespierre even thought of that one. No one really knows where the original Bible Old Testament came from. It has been translated many times but other faiths seem to believe in the same thing, like this book had an older copy that had been copied by other cultures their way just like our culture had its own translation from a still older undiscovered document. That raises other even more interesting questions. Our being not alone, and able to visit other places when we earn the ability will probably destroy faiths depending on the New Testament, but what of the other Abrahamist faiths that rely on the Old book, like Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Mohammedism, and others? Are they resilient enough to bend, or will they break under the weight of truth as well. Time will only tell. For one day our neighbors will come to visit and do more than take pictures and tag people for exozoological studies. That day is approaching. Fast. Our government knows this as well, as that is the reason for backing out of the ITER. What are Bush's folks afraid of? Will turning it on finally attract forceful attention akin to Junior finding his mother's gun. Rest assured we are also being watched for antisocial behavior, of which we have no shortage, and its possibility for leaving the bounds of this planet and reaching out into our system. Maybe there are mining concessions in our system that are at risk from our interference. Certainly in some nearby system. If scientists are to be believed, rocky planets near sunlike stars are common.
